I wanted to reach out to you during this sad time to offer my condolences. While nothing will completely take away your grief, by meditating on God's promises found in the Bible, you can find real hope and the strength to keep going. I have found the scripture at Isaiah 25:8 to be especially comforting. Here it promises that God "will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces."

Rice Family, I know your hearts must be heavy during this most difficult time. But lean on the Lord and He will bring you peace and comfort. Cathy was strong in her faith, so there is no doubt in my mind where she is today. She was a sweet and kind person. She will be truly missed.
