My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth.

Arlene (Bird) Snell My Dear Aunt June 11, 2010
 

Dear Cousins,

 

Well, this is my very last Aunt.  I know where my mind will be today.  She truly was the kindest person I have ever met.  I don't ever remember her being without a smile.  My Brother Jack and I always enjoyed being at her house and eating her delicious food.  She made us feel so welcome in our summer visits to play with John and Carl.  In the past years I have cherished her letters and cards.  May God be with your family and all of your treasured memories.

 

Love Always,

Arlene (Bird) Snell

No matter how old we are,


Losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know,


But her goodness, her caring and her wisdom live on,


Like a legacy of love that will always be with you.

 

Carl & family, Please know that I am thinking of you.

Christine
