A FOND FAREWELL

5/16/11 Fond farewell---Is there such a thing? I guess there is if one is now saying good-by to the person with whom one has shared a fondness or love in the past. Mommar's funeral was a bi† of a fond farewell. Saying good-by, yet remembering and celebrating the life we shared with her.
The one thing I do know from this time of loss is that the Lord uses the love and support from family, friends, and members of the community of faith to make it all much easier on those who are grieving. I am so-o-o-o grateful for the refreshment (physical, spiritual and emotional) provided for the Liles clan during this time.
For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you,....(Philemon, verse 7)
This verse was printed on the memory card of Mary Black Liles, our Mommar.
