Peter and Becky and family- You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We are so sorry that we are not able to make it to the visitation. Please be assured of our continuing prayers for Beth and your family.
Beth was a gift to all who knew her. She was a wonderful soul. She was beautiful inside and out and some of this credit is due to the fact that she has wonderful parents. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Our prayers are offered for your intentions and the repose of Beth’s soul. May Our Heavenly Father comfort and console your family and Our Mother keep you under her mantle of love.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that God will comfort and sustain you. Psalms 34:18 says that He is near to those broken at heart and saves those crushed in spirit. He truly knows the pain you feel. He assures us at John 5:28 that a time will soon come when we will welcome back to our arms those we have lost. Know that time is very near. Allow God to comfort your soul until that day arrives. Please keep His promises close to your heart. I offer my deepest sympathies to your entire family.
