The family would like to give a special thanks to Linda Mack and Covenant Care for helping the family navigate through an extremely difficult time.

What a wonderful soul she was! She will be greatly missed! She was very loving and kind. Even when she didn’t feel great, she always took time to invite me and my family in to sit and chat. Or she would come out to the van when my family would stop by to visit her. We would talk about horses and life.
Such a strong willed, determined, independent, loving person. My family and I are very happy to have met her. We look forward to seeing her again when God’s Kingdom reverses the horrible effects of pain and death.
Revelation 21:4 – “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.”
John 5:28,29 – Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
