Dear Charlie & Family,
Please accept our condolences in the loss of your Dear Linda. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this sad time. We think of happier times when you traveled to visit us here. Your Canadian Cousins, Vernon, Eileen Davidson and Family Ponteix, Saskatchewan, Canada xxoo
My heart goes out to your family. I am so sorry for your loss. What pain hurts worse than the pain of losing someone that you love? Though the pain you’re feeling must seem unbearable, please remember that you are not alone. Psalms 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress.” Pray to Him for strength. Weep to Him when there are no words. One of the poets of the Bible said at Psalms 56:8, “You keep track of my wandering. Do collect my tears in your skin bottle.” You see, God understands your pain and He cares for you very much (1 Peter 5:7). And He will really help you get through this difficult time (Isaiah 41:10).
I love you so much Linda. I was so very blessed to have you in my life all these years. I will miss you the rest of my life. Thank you for calling me Sister. Thank you for being there for me for the last almost 30 years. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being a wonderful Admin on “Trail Of No More Tears”. We will all miss you very much. Now our Creator has another beautiful Angel to put to work 🙂 I know you, and know you will love that. I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!!!…you will always be in my heart, in all of our hearts forever! xoxoxo
