    Edna, I am sorry to hear of Wards passing. I am thinking of you and your family, I will continue to lift you and your family in prayer, if there is anything I can do for you, don’t hesitate to let me know. I know words are not something that will ease the pain, but they are sometihg to uplift and cling to in a time of greif, I wanted to quote the passage from Isaiah 26:19, because it is a great promise from our Lord. “your dead will live; their corpses will rise. you whho lie in the dust awake and shout for joy, for your dew is as the dew of the dawn, and the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.” Take comfort in knowing this.
