    Julie, I’m so sorry for your family’s recent loss. Prayers that comfort and peace will prevail through out all of the service, and in the days beyond when you’re alone and will really feel the emptiness of her presence….just remember she loved and nurtured your family through out her life time and has earned her crown. Jesus provides the healing and comfort.
