My deepest condolences to your family.
Over the past years, my summer job has taken me into Walhalla over the summer months. Sharon was frequently our waitress at the cafe and her pleasant personality always made for a bright spot in the day. I always knew our visit to the cafe for lunch would be a pleasant experience.
I was very saddened to learn of her passing. My deepest sympathies to your family, and may God give you comfort at this time.

My thoughts and prayers are on you and yours as you face this heartbreak. Words cannot express what my heart feels for you. I would like to share with you a poem to remind you of God's promises. I hope it can give you some comfort at this time.

 

What God Hath Promised

 

God hath not promised

Skies always blue,

Flower-strewn pathways

All our lives through;

God hath not promised

Sun without rain,

Joy without Sorrow,

Peace without pain.

 

But God hath promised

Strenghth for the day,

Rest for the labor

Light for the way,

Grace for the trials,

Help from above,

Unfailing sympathy,

Undying love.

--Annie Johnson Flint--

 

May God give you strength and peace during this time of sorrow.

 

Love

 Virginia

Hi my name is Terrie,
First, let me say you have my deepest condolences.I know death is a difficult thing, because I lost my parents & my son a few years ago. What helped me though, was the wonderful resurrection hope Jesus spoke about in the bible at John 5:28&29. I hope you can draw strenghth from this hope and while you wait for this to occur, I hope you can draw peace & comfort from the memories of Sharon right now.

Sincercely
Terrie
