"I would like to convey my sympathy to you in the loss of your loved one. I didn't know Mabel personally,but I do understand the pain of losing one so dear to you. I lost my dear father and a year later my younger brother. This past summer I lost two cousins(brothers) in separate traffic accidents,just 5 hours apart,in the same town. We were so distraught,we appreciated the little notes,such as this,from friends, family and even those we never met, that wrote to show their support. I found much comfort in reading the bible,as I'm sure you have also. I just wanted to share with you some of my favorites. One was Psalm 34:18, here we are reassured that we are never alone,more so at a time like this. Also in John 11:11,14-44 we read of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus,here on earth. Can you imagine the tears of joy when all present heard Jesus call out in a loud voice,"Lazarus,come forth!" and they saw him walk toward them, with their very own eyes, come from his memorial tomb. We too will experience that same joy when John 5:25,28 is fulfilled. I can't wait till that day comes. Cherish the wonderful memories you shared and keep them close to your hearts. Remember what you learned from her and pay it forward so others can benefit from her as an individual who was well loved and respected. Take care of yourselves,so you can be there for those who need and love you. Please accept my sincere condolences to all who knew Mabel Niederkofler."
