Life Reflections

In death, Jesus is there when our loved ones pass on…

No matter if it is a Mother, Father, Sister or Brother

He will never leave, He is not like us, He is there to lift our

Hunged down heads and to let us know we have nothing to dread.

God looked around His Garden and saw an empty space. He then looked down from heaven

and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you and whispered, “Come and Rest”. His garden must be beautiful for

He only takes only the best.
