To Mrs Bunny, Mitsy and The Mckenzie and Epps Families:
There are so many things in life that we may never understand, this is one of them. My prayer and meditation on your behalf is Proverbs 3:5-6 …”Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, do not lean to your own understanding. In everything and all things acknowledge the Almighty God and He will direct your path.” He promises to comfort you; God keeps His promises. My heart aches with yours. You all have my sincerest sympathy.
•Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss; my thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find comfort in these words: God, who watches over us and hears us when we pray is very near to give you strength and comfort you today. May He bless and keep you within His loving care, and may it help you just to know that He is always there.
