My condolences for the loss of your Mother.
We can have confidence in the hope given in the Bible where God will remember our dead loved ones and will bring them back to life on earth. Jo 5:28,29. Ps 37:11,29
Soon God will wipe away all tears of sorrow and death and pain will be gone forever. Rev 21:3,4
May you find comfort in these promises.

Joyce Hicks says
I’ve known Lois (and George) all my life. Our families sort of increased about the same time, My deepest sympathy goes out to Jean & John; as well as the kids, who we played with for many years. Our family is decreasing, but the memories will not die. With love, Joyce (Wright) Hicks
