Condolences
To all of you,
We are saddened to hear of Mary's passing on. We offer our sympathy and love at this difficult time.
Please know that we are thinking about each and every one of you remembering that Mary was and always will be a special soul never to be forgotten. I share this with you now, as I have it hanging on my wall and read it often knowing that my Dad (Jack Wilmott)and everyone that has went before us, is waiting in Heaven for us all to be together again for that big party in the sky and we will all live in eternity once again.
The Empty Chair
When God sees fit to take someone so very close and dear ,I know that He is with you through your worries and your fear.
He doesn't take them forever though it may seem that way to you, you had them longer than he did, so now He needs them to.
You will soon be with them someday in Heaven above, and you will live forever in an everlasting love.
We never want our loved ones to suffer not one day, He removes all pain from their bodies when they go with Him to stay.
He doesn't mean to make you sad or break your heart in two, for you are His child dear one and Jesus does love you.
So now there is an empty chair no one can fill that space, but your loved one is sitting there though you can not see their face.
There is no way that's easy when it's time to say Goodbye, you have given them all your love, remember they live they do not die.
With all our love and Sympathy,
Tina (Wilmott) Axe & Family and Carrie (Crothers) Wilmott (Sis)
