Kim and Family Members of Beatrice(Bootsie),

It is with the deepest and most heartfelt sympathy that I convey how sad we we were to hear about your mother's death. We have had the privilege of praying for her many times per the request of her wonderful neighbors who attend church with us: Tim & Dottie Mick at Chester Outreach Church of the Nazarene. I am the prayer chain coordinator at Chester Outreach, and even though I never had the pleasure of meeting your mother, I felt as if I knew her through Dottie. It is my prayer that God will give you and your family peace that passeth all understanding, and that he will make His face to shine upon you always. May the Lord bless you all the days of your life. May He comfort you and lift you up when you are down. Our prayers will continue to flow for you and your family during this difficult season of grief and loss in your lives.
We know that she will be greatly missed.

Love & Prayers,
Sheri-an Figard
In Behalf of Chester Outreach Nazarene Prayer Chain
