God Is Never Beyond Our Reach
No one ever sought the Father And found He was not there,
And no burden is to heavy To be lightened by a prayer, No problem is too intricate And no sorrow that we face Is too deep and devastating To be softened by His grace.
No trials and tribulations Are beyond what we can bear If we share them with Our Father As we talk to Him in prayer.
** OUR MANY THANKS **
We wish to express our deepest appreciation for the many acts of kindness shown to us during the loss of our loved one. We are especially thankful for those who have cheered and inspired us and have helped us to bear our sorrows. May God bless each of you. Again, we thank you.
THE FAMILY
