Condolences for the family of “Monica M. Obey”
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family this difficult time. Monica will be with you always in your heart and memories.
To My Sister-In-Law Rose Long-Lyles,
They say that the children are supposed to be the one burying their parents, not the other way around; but please note that death is inevitable. With an open mind, believe that God has the best reasons and most surprising ways of taking back an angel that He so miss in heaven. Prayer Up…
