Gracie, I want to say how sorry I’am for the loss of Cary. She will never be forgotten. She is in God’s hands now and will never suffer again. Prayers are coming your way for strength to get you through. Always remember the joy and laughter that Cary brought into this world. I will always remember her saying, Leave me alone ROBERTS!!
Grace, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you all.
Erin & Kim….I am very sorry to hear about your sister’s passing. I will always remember her beautiful smile as she stood at the fence at your home in Leonardtown. Hugs to you both.
To the family,
Please deepest sympathies on your loss. Losing a loved one is something that we can never get used to because the bible teaches that we were created with the desire to live forever (Eccl 3:11). I hope you find comfort in knowing that God will rectify matters by bringing an end to pain, suffering and death and restoring dead loved ones to life by means of his son Jesus Christ (Rev 21:4; John 11:25). Until then, please hold on to that hope and draw strength from the love of those around you.
To Carys Family,I had the pleasure of working with Cary several months ago at Baycss. She was always smiling and so happy to go on car rides. Im deeply sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace. God bless you
