To my dear sister and friend Rosa, earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Mother has taken her wings and flown away to a place of no more pain, sorrows, and suffering. She has taken her rest and is now enjoying the fruits of her labor. May the Lord bless you and your family as you go through your season of grief. Remember GOD is able. Much love to you and your family.

Rosa,
My dear sister and friend earth has no sorrow heaven cannot heal. Mother has taken her wings and moved on to a place of no sorrows and pain. She is resting in the arms of Jesus and enjoying the fruits of her labor.
May God’s love, grace and mercy cover you and your family as you go through your season of grief.  Remember you are loved much and I am only a phone call away.

With heartfelt sorrows; yet joy because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Carolyn and Derrell Wade
