Tributes
Leave a tributeI miss you so much and it still hurts so much. Knowing that you lived your life loving the Lord and serving him makes it a little easier. I know the many people who you led to the Lord who proceeded your death were there to greet you at the Pearlie Gates right next to Jesus. You touched so many lives in the years you were alive and so many people were blessed by your presence and words of encouragement. Never being judgemental when you could have. Never being condescending or hurtful, only offering words of encouragement and positivity.
This Christmas will be hard without you. But with the supportive family you helped to mold we will be just fine, holding hands and offering up prayers over our food. You were the center of it all and you will be missed by many.
I love you Mom.
Sorry for your lost.. Please that the "Wiltshire Family" is praying for you and your family. We know that this is a very a difficult time but know that GOD will comfort you.
You have my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. I have very fond memories of her as a neighbor and at BHS. She was always a caring, kind and considerate person. May she rest peacefully with the Lord. I pray that the Lord gives you peace and comfort during this time. My love to you and your family.
