FRIENDS OF THE FAMILY
Who can find a Virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband safely trust her: So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.
Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come. Her children rise up and call her blessed: Her husband also, and he praised her:
A women who fears the Lord she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:10-12, 25, 26, 28, 30b, 31
BECAUSE YOU CARED ENOUGH OF YOURSELF, YOUR PRAYERS, GIFTS AND THOUGHTS WERE HERE WITH us. OUR HEARTS FEEL AND APPRECIATE YOUR CARING, AND OUR GRIEVING HAS BEEN MADE EASIER TO BEAR. MAY EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU BE BLESSED WITH GODS RICH GRACE AND MERCY.
