So sorry to learn of Aunt Lois passing. What a tremendous blessing she has been to her family and others. May you sense God’s peace and comfort. Praying for your family as you mourn her loss. May her legacy live on in the lives of her children and grandchildren. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 May God’s Word bring comfort knowing that we will one day be reunited with her in the presence of Jesus Christ. Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” Sam & Julie
