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

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
