Hi Darlene --- i am so sorry about Linda's passing -- i didn't know she had cancer till a few weeks ago or if i did, i didn't remember ---
My sympathy goes out to you -- I know you and Linda were very close along with Bob - now they both are gone --- -- my heart goes out to you !!
I lost Rich this past April -- i keep reminding myself that Rich is at peace with God in Heaven -- so is Linda ( and Bob) ---- I remind myself of this often --- there is no pain in Heaven -- Only Good with God ---
i pray for you as you find your new normal --( my friend told me to find happy or contentment even in sorrow which is a slow process for sure --- Linda would want that -- so would Rich ---
-- I am grateful to have God in my life to lean on & to know those, i love and care about are at peace without pain in Heaven with Him-
I am sorry i wasn't able to there this morning ---
Prayers of comfort & peace for you --Take care -- Nora
