TO: WILMA RAY
IF WE HAVE FAITH, AND BELIEF,
THAT WE ARE IN GOD’S CARE, THEN WE CAN BELIEVE THAT THE LORD IS WITH US EVERYWHERE.
HIS ANGLES HAVE BEEN SENT TO PROTECT US FROM ANY HARM, AND TO TEACH US ABOUT LOVE, AND KEEP OUR SPIRITS CALM.
THIS HEAVENLY LOVE SURROUNDS EACH OF US EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND TODAY, BECAUSE YOU ARE SO SPECIAL TO ME.
I ASKED THE ANGELS TO BRING A LITTLE MORE LOVE YOUR WAY, AND I ASKED GOD TO SEND YOU TREASURES OF A LASTING KIND.
WILMA, YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY AND GOD MUST HAVE HEARD. I ASK HIM TO BE NEAR YOU AT THE START OF THIS DAY AND TO KEEP YOU IN HIS LOVING CARE.
WE LOVE YOU,
ADDIE JERRY, AND MAMOW RAY
Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
Our sincere sympathy goes out to each of the family.
Grandpa Bradley was a loved member of the family, he will be missed. My favorite memories of my grandpa was when we would feed the turkeys. He taught me a lot. I know that he is in a better place now. Riding on the wings of angels with god.
