For Diedre

On the passing of Georgia Scheeve's daughter, Diedre

With Deepest Sympathy and Prayer
A Message of Comfort and Hope for Diedre

Joannie, dearest Joannie!

My heart aches for you, and I feel, in the quiet places of my soul, the heaviness you carry. I recognize the deep wounds left by the trials you have faced, and I share in your sorrow during this difficult time.

There is solace, gentle and profound, in knowing that Diedre's pain has come to an end, and that she has found peace, freed from the hardships and heartache of this world.

Though words can never fill the absence left behind, may the assurance of her rest bring some measure of comfort to you and to all who mourn her passing.

I am lifting you up in prayer, asking for a peace that only God can give to be wrapped around you, and for healing to gently touch your spirit, and for hope to kindle anew, even in your grief.

Diedre's name and story remain tenderly in my thoughts and prayers. Today, as in days past, I have remembered her in church, holding you both close in prayer.

Let us give thanks that her suffering has ceased, and hold to the hope that love endures beyond all partings.

With all my love and deepest sympathy, especially now, and always.
