My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our deepest sympathies to you and the family.

To the family of Edna, you have my condolences in your loss. Although the funeral services is long over, and family and friends have gone to their perspective homes, you still are grieving and are in need of encouragement. May your faith in God’s promises for the future help you through this difficult period. (John 3:16; Acts 24:15)
Mrs Monroe was one of the first people to ever share the love of Christ with me. She was incredibly fascinating to listen to, I remember her from my childhood vividly and her memory will remain with me until I meet our Lord Jesus Christ.
May the Lord continue to comfort the family and friends who are mourning her loss and may is love keep you in the days to come.
