    Elizabeth,
    I was sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I remember her helping me in the library at Lincoln Terrace whenever there was a Book Fair. I always enjoying spending time with her. She loved you so very much. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
    Mrs. Brenda Thompson (your librarian at Lincoln Terrace)

    I am so sorry for your loss. I know this is a very difficult time for the family. Something that has always given me comfort is a scripture at Revelation 21:4, it says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I sincerely hope this brings you some comfort.
