Amanda and Kellie,
Please accept my deepest condolences. I still hold the Omaha memories of all of us in my heart. May you feel God’s comfort through this difficult time. I know nothing brings immediate comfort when you are grieving and many times people don’t know what to say or do, but one thing is certain…pray helps. I am praying for you and sending my love straight to your heart.
Godspeed,
Pensacola
Dear Amanda, Kellie,George and Paris Family:
There comes a time in life when we have to let go and trust all we are and can be to the Giver of life. There is a time of hurt that only God can understand, a time of deepest need that cannot be ministered to by a human friend. There is an anxiety that cannot be resolved, a pain that cannot be relieved, a feeling that cannot be healed by anything another may say or do. It is only as we give up our desperate efforts and give God total control that we can experience true healing. This healing may not be as we expect, but entrusting our life to the Good Shepherd will ultimately be the best choice that can be made. For in giving your life to Him, He will take your burdens and hold you in His comforting arms. He is the only one who can truly understand. Please know that we love you and we are lifting you in prayer. (Continue to trust Him!! ) From your other sister Mary Lou and Family
Kellie, in times like this there are never any words that can make one feel better about their loss. Yet we have to dig deep down and find the right things to say. I always ask that God grant you the strength to endure your loss. The road it is not easy right now and it may not be for a long time, but, keep your head up and hang in there the best you can. I know you will miss your dad deeply, but, know that I believe he is alright. I pray that you continue to hang on to the memories that you have of your dad until you meet again. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Andrea
Kellie – I was extremely sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I have been down this same road before and I understand what you are feeling right now. However, the positive memories or your father and what he meant to you and your family will make you stronger and a better person. I wish you and your family the very best.
God’s Speed!!!
