I would like to express my sympathy to you the family at this time.
I was Confirmed at First St. Matthew's Lutheran Church with Cathy and also a friend. We used to go to her house and sing together and also play ball outside in her backyard. I remember one time we lost the ball and Cathy prayed that we would find the ball. We found it. It was in the vegetable garden. She is now in her Heavenly Home and I would like to share a verse that I found just yesterday...
When God calls His children home, His angels come to take them by the hand, leading them along a shining path into a pleace of peace and light.
Home at last, they see the Lord open His arms, welcoming them with a smile into the everlasting joy and peace that is His love.
As the Lord welcomes your loved one home to perfect peace, may He also comfort you and lead you through your sorrow.
