My heartfelt sympathy goes out to family and friends for the lost of their beloved Jan. I hope the promise at John 6:39 can bring real comfort. Knowing that there is hope for our lost love ones can be reassuring.

May you find comfort from God

I am so sorry that I am unable to honor Jan in person. We shared so many laughs! She was always full of spunk and adventure. We went to quilts conferences (it's like deer camp for women ) and followed our husbands up and down the River. I don't remember ever having a bad day around Jan.
May God comfort you with grace and peace. May we live in faith so we can be reunited with her in heaven. I'm pretty sure Bobby already has her on the dance floor.

May the family find peace and comfort in knowing all sickness, all pain and death will one day be gone for this has been promised.
