Family, she will truly be missed. There is one passage of scripture to reflect upon and that Jeremiah 22:10; weep not for the dead nor bemoan him. But weep sorely for him that goeth away...... Have faith through our Lord and saviour and believe on him that through God's everlasting helmet of salvation we shall meet again.
