Hey, sulbte must be your middle name. Great post!##imported-begin##Dash##imported-end##
Hanna,
We are truly sorry for your loss. There are no words that truly can describe the emptiness left behind. Yet, we somehow believe that Raphael lives on with you and will touch your heart for the rest of your life.
'I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.'

To the Winkler Family: I am a neighbor of yours who heard about the loss in your family and I am truly sorry, I would like to share a scripture found in Gods Word the bible to bring your household much needed peace found at Revelation 21:3,4 which reads: With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say:"Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I pray this scripture brings much needed peace, my sincere condolences.##imported-begin##C. Jackson##imported-end##
