Dear Uncle Paul and family,
We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Aunt Vera. Uncle Paul, I can still remember the glow you had when you told Farrell and me that you were going to get married. Aunt Vera was a dear person of substance and grace, and will be greatly missed. We regret that we are unable to be with you for the funeral service as you celebrate her life, but we will uplift all of you in our thoughts and prayers as you commend her soul to God with reverent thanks for God’s good gift that has enriched and blessed our lives.
An insightful anonymous poet once said,
“The longer I live and the more I see of the struggle of souls toward the heights above,
the stronger the truth comes home to me that the universe rests on shoulder of love.
A Love so infinite, deep, and broad, that we rename it and call it God.”
May each of you experience the amazing grace and love of God that always surrounds you during this time of loss and when you are most distressed may find yourselves embraced by the Everlasting Arms of Love.
Dave and Jane
