Theron Stuart

There are few things more difficult in this life than to loose the love of your life. I can't say, "I know how you feel." Because I don't. And truthfully, no one else knows exactly how you feel. The special unique love that you two shared is what also makes the pain so unique. This is a time to grieve, shed many tears, feel vulnerable and still laugh, smile and let others be strong for you. This is the beginning of a new journey for you. Right now it will not be very appealing and that is okay if you cannot see that. Just know that you are being showered with prayers and much love. The love you two shared is an example to all of us. We rejoice in what you shared together. We're grateful that you are still with us. Lean on any and all of us. We know you'd be there for us, so honor us by asking us to be there for you. Grace and Peace from our Lord Jesus Christ. Theron & David
