We will always remember Grace's contagious laugh and smiling face. Our memories of spending time with her at the beach will never fade: looking for sea shells, eating her special oyster crackers, fixing "half drinks", walking on the beach and listening to commentary about current events. She was an amazing wife, mother and friend and someone who will always be remembered with love. It is hard to forget someone who has given you so much to remember. We love you, Grace.

SSgt Elseroad,

Thank you for your kind note. My mother was a true Marine and loved the military. It was only fitting she died on Memorial Day.

Though I know that this is a difficult time for you, my hope is that you will be comforted from God's inspired word the Bible. John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21: 3,4 gives hope of a future resurrection and the complete elimination of death, pain and mourning. Under Jesus' kingdom rule we have this and much more to look forward to. Please accept my deepest condolences. For more scriptural encouragement please go to www.jw.org.

While it is indeed sad that you are mourning the loss of your dear Grace, it saddens God more. In the days ahead, you will continue to reflect on seemingly small, yet precious memories. This is occurs especially when we experience the loss of someone loved. However, take confidence in knowing that just as you have memories, almighty God remembers too. The difference is, God can and will restore perfect life to those in His memory as explained in the faith strengthening video ** Please accept my condolences during this time of distress.
