    Condolences to the Long family. Throw all your burdens on God in prayer now and in the days ahead, and the Bible promises that you will receive “the peace of God.” Philippians 4:6 &7. Our prayers are with you.

    I am saddened to hear of Aunt Bertha’s death. I am also her niece, daughter of younger brother Raymond, and she used to say I was her favourite niece. Regardless, she was my favourite aunt, and I miss her terribly. I hope that her passing was peaceful. She was firm in her Christian faith, and I believe that must have consoled her with all the health challenges she endured, with good spirit, over the years. I am sure she is now in a better place. I send fond good wishes for peace and serenity to Cousin Richard and Ruthie.
    I love you always, Aunt Bertha!
