So sorry to hear about Mrs Ridgeaway's passing as I know how much you all love her and will miss her. But I know she is with her Savior and does not want to come back to this earth until it it is with Him. We would be there at the celebration of her life if we were not under the shelter at home order in place. She was a strong woman in my life and I love her. I will never forget the silent lessons she represented to me. We will be praying for all of your hearts that God gives you peace and comfort and that the happy memories you hold dear will cover your grief. We love you all.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms 34:18, God revealed details about what happens after death to encourage and comfort us, to give us hope in times of personal loss, that we not "sorrow as others who have no hope" (1 Thessalonians 4:13). God's promise of eternal life is certain; we can safely trust in it as long as we are faithful to Him. "hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began"(Titus 1:2). We realize that, just as our present existence is temporary, so is death. A time is coming when we will reunite with those who have died and renew our relationships. You're in my thoughts & prayers,
