Condolences
I am so saddened to learn of Helen’s passing. I had many a good time with her when she attended the Friend’s Church. Helen was such a sweet lady and somewhat of a character that one could not help like. After moving I didn’t see her often, but occasionally talked to her on the phone Always up to the same old things.
May the following verses provide comfort during this difficult time and may God give your family comfort. I will miss my friend.
What must it be to step on shore and find it—HEAVEN;
To take hold a hand and find it—GOD’S HAND;
To breathe a new air and find it—CELESTIAL AIR;
To feel invigorated, and find it—IMMORTALITY;
To sail from the care and turmoil of earth
To one unbroken calm;
To land there and find it—GLORY.
“Although it is difficult to look beyond the sorrow.
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow”.
