April
Dear Paul, Kevin, Kim, Kelly, Keith, Chrisalie, Jason, Jessica and Family,
I recently learned of the physical loss of your wife/mother. I am truly filled with sympathy for the entire family, including for each of Michelle's precious grandchildren and family friends. Michelle was an extraordinary person. She was a beacon of light for those in need of guidance or a mentor. Michelle was a beautiful lady with even more inwardly beauty. I have failed to express to her, while she was physically here, my deepest appreciation for when she provided me, during a crucial, profound and confusing time in my life, with wind to assist my developing wings even after numerous crash landings. Also, I failed to ask her for her forgiveness in regards to battering some of her feathers in the process of my crash landings. There are a couple of memories I distinctly recall witnessing on numerous occasions about Michelle's character which are as follows. She was a unique individual who loved her family and family friends unconditionally. She stood steadfast with an iron fist of motherly protection and a Band-Aid in the other hand for each of her beloved seven children through all circumstances and conditions.
With loving memories of Michelle,
April
Below, I have included some Bible verses for these days and others days ahead for when you and/or your family might need extra comfort or inspiration.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV)
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Colossians 2:5 (NIV)
For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
Philippians 1:3 (KJV)
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
