    To the family of Helen,
    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Death is such a terrible enemy. I pray that God give you comfort during this difficult time. There are better days to come, when we can be with our loved ones, who have passed away, again. (John 5::8,29) gods promise to us. Until that time may happy memories bring joy to your hearts and smiles to your faces.
