Phyllis

Phyllis

I read today that the root word phil means loving and I thought you were given the right 
name. I know you sit and serve your mother in law as she is in the transition of life to life 
eternal. Remember that we will see her again and she will be free to roam and run and play at 
the feet of Jesus. Time in this world must end for all; she has traveled her journey and 
taught her children well. The children must take her torch on their own journey through this 
life and be ready to meet the savior.
May the holy spirit comfort you, strengthen you, and love you through this difficult time.
Family is our most important asset in life, God given and God protected.
Remember the good days and forgive the bad.
I love you my sweet sister,
Love,
Doris

Love demonstrated by sacrifice of one self is the highest form of worship..Bless your sister for all she does and she will be rewarded with a priceless gift that no one can take away! Blessings, peace and joy this holy season and always, Audrey

Doris, thank you for letting me know this is truly your blood relative and not a "sister" in the family of man. I do admire her devotion to her mother-in-law; it can't be easy for her. Your words are filled with love and encouragement. Bless you for writing this and sharing it with us. Love, Carolyn
