Shawn and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathy to all. Rosie was a very sweet lady whos great faith in the Father Almighty radiated through her. We enjoyed many happy times together dancing and singing her favourite Bible songs. She will always hold a special place in my heart. I am sure today she is rejoicing in her Eternal Home. God Bless. Sincerely, Kim Dean

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Something that has brought my family and myself some comfort during this situation is a promise from God at Isaiah 25:8 where it says “He will swallow up death forever,And ….. he will wipe away the tears from all faces.” Hope this brings you all some help and comfort during this difficult time.
