Megan and the entire family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of your mother's death, please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers; and where she is now she has no pain and is in God's eternal love and light where there is only happiness, & love all encompassing. Jesus said: "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14: 1 - 3
