• Henry, Tom, Becky, Mary: Our thoughts and affection reach out to each of you and your families as you gather to say goodbye to your Mom ... tough to do at any age. With time your sadness will fade and hopefully be replaced with sweet memories in the confidence that she has returned to our Father. (I hope these scriptures will be a comfort to you all ... Your friend always.
  
  Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:6
  
  Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: For we walk by faith, not by sight: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8
