Rose,
I am so sorry I couldn't be there for you.I know you've heard this before, but the truth is "Nobody truly passes away, they just move on ahead of us to a new home where they wait for us to join them." The way things are going here on earth, I doubt if it will be very long before Christ comes to take us all home. Just continue to look up. Remember the good times, thank the Lord for the times we've had, and find comfort in knowing J.D. is no longer suffering.
Please keep in touch, and may God continue to bless and keep you all.
Judy

Dear Rose, Billy and Sherry,

I'm sorry to hear that you've lost J.D. Please remember the reality that this separation is temporary and all a part of God's great plan for us.

Rose, you are one of the sweetest people in this whole world. You are a blessing to those around you. I know how close you are to our Heavenly Father. I pray that He will comfort you and your family and give you strength in this time of sorrow. I love you dearly.

Sincerely,
Barbara

Rose, Billy and Sherry,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Although it doesn't ease the pain, just remember that he is in a better place and you will see him again one day. That's what has helped me since mom passed away. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
