I’m so sorry. words can’t express what it is when you lose a daughter or sister. It’ a very special bond. Be strong, we all will miss her, Sorry. Donna and all the Fletcher family.
Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking. May you find comfort in knowing that our heavenly Father knows the heartbreak of loss and is here for us as he promised at Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, And through the rivers, they will not flood over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame singe you.” Although death is the most heartbreaking experience we will ever face we are not left without hope. God promises to bring our loved ones back to life through a resurrection as he promised at, Isaiah 25:8 ” He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” How we long for that truly special day to embrace them again!
I’m so sorry to hear about this. May the Lord lift you all up during this hard time. I love each and every one of you!
We are so sorry about Darlene. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
