To the family,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your loved one. I hope you can gain the needed comfort from the words at Psalms 34:15,18 and 2 Corinthians 1:3,4. Losing someone that means so much to you is very difficult, but please know that God is there to comfort and sustain you.
My deepest sympathy to Marjorie’s family. I worked with Marjorie at Mercy Hospital on Zone 41for years. She was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. She was always like a mother to me. I loved her so much and she will always be in my thoughts.
