"The Magic of a Mother's Touch"
There's magic in a Mother's touch, and sunshine in her smile. There's love in everything she does to make our lives worthwhile. We can find both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy, her words are warm and wise. There is a kindness and compassion to be found in her embrace, and we see the light of heaven shining from a Mother's face.

I remember Mrs. C. almost as a 2nd mother to me.
She was a wonderful woman who always cared about things in my (at the time) young life & was always willing to listen to me (and scold me too !!!)
Although I haven't seen her in a long time, the years we worked together are still some of the most memorable ones in my life.
She will always be a wonderful memory and now I know that she is helping to look after my son Julius who also is an agel in heavan with her.

I'm sorry for your loss. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. John 5:28, 29

Cesanek Family,
I'm sorry to read about the loss of your loved one Amelia. Death is like a thief that takes away our loved ones. Or, due to old age and sickness, we loose that precious quality of life that leads to death. The Bible always offer comfort for us in times like this. Please when you get a few minutes, read in your Bible Psalm 37:11,29 & Rev.21:3,4. I am sure you will find comfort from these verses. May you memories of Amelia bring peace to you.
My Sincere Condolences

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their being leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
