I'm sorry for your loss. You and Jenny are in my prayers always.
God is so awesome though we don't always understand. But Christians don't have to understand because we have faith in everything God does. Praying for faith and peace for your entire family.
I was fortunate to become a member of the family and get to know Gayla. We shared many stories about Danielle and Anthony and the rest of the family. She always had me laughing and welcomed me and my son to her family and her church. Thank you Gayla you are loved and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to all her family and friends.
Claudia/Jerry: So very sorry for your loss! Remember, the bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! Praise Jesus – she is in paradise!!! My prayers are with you both and your family during this difficult time!
Thank you Mrs. Engle for bringing me to the Lord. You have always been and will always continue to be in my heart. Love, Janice
