Dearest Laurie and Family,

Words cannot convey my heartfelt condolences to you at this time. I know that the past couple of months have been difficult on you and your family. Rest assured that Mom is now safely home in the arms of our loving father in heaven. What a glorious and wonderful new life she now enjoys in the light of His presence with eternal joy and happiness. I know that she will look out for all of you from above. In your mom's honor, Emily and I will read her Little Duckling story tonight. Give Lyr a little extra nuzzle tonight from Grandma.

Sending you a big hug and, of course, our prayers for comfort, understanding, and acceptance.

God is great. He rescues us from all our pain and suffering.

A Better Place
She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.

It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.

We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

Love and Prayers,

Ellen, Scott, and Emily Menshew
