It's very often hard to say "Thy will be done" -- but still we know when loved ones leave us it's according to God's will, so hold fast to your faith in Him. Believe that all is planned and with His love, He'll help you to accept and understand. My prayers go out to the Byse and Sims Family. - Lisa Pina Hartage(Sunday, April 07 13 09:19 pm EDT)
