Laura, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother, but I am glad that you had some time to be with her. My prayers for comfort are with you and Jeff and the boys.

To the family of Mrs. Babb, please accept our heartfelt condolences. May your happy memories and the love and comfort of your family and friends console you at this sad time. It is always difficult to lose your mom, no matter what your age. God did not create us to grow old and die, but He put eternity in our hearts. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) May you also find comfort in the promise that soon He will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more.(Revelation 21:3,4) When God's Kingdom comes, and His will is done on earth, as it is already being done in Heaven, there will be no mourning or pain. (Matthew 6:9,10) June is sleeping in Jehovah's memory and will soon awaken in perfect health in a beautiful paradise on earth! (Psalm 37:10,11,29) Her flesh will become fresher than in youth; she will return to the days of her youthful vigor! (Job 33:25) She will again be able to enjoy life in a beautiful garden on earth! I sincerely hope you will find comfort in this good news from God's word! (Matthew 24:14)

Dear Gene, Laura, and Martha, I am so sorry to hear of your wife/mother's passing. The last time I spoke with her when I called about Nannie, she spoke of her own health concerns. May the gift of care and love you gave her during her final days help sustain you today and eventually heal your broken hearts; fill them with the happy memories of your many years together -- that is the greatest gift of all. My deepest sympathy, Carla Carlisle
