TO the Martin family, my heart goes out to you in the passing of your dear love one. I have been where you all are now, I know you fill as your heart is being ripped from your chest, and you will never smile again. But if you pray and trust in God, I know for a fact that you will get better in time, you will look back and remember the good times that you spent with your mom, grandmother, sister or what ever position that she had in each of your lives and you will laugh again, you will think of all the good she instilled in each of you, and the LOVE she gave you all. So just keep the LOVE flowing to your children because I am sure this is what she would want you all to do. Lydia Jenkins, my sister has always spoken highly of Minerva about how she worshiped Milani ,and how she would carry her on vacation, and she knew she was in good hands and didn't have to worry about her, and that's good. So that let's me know that she was a GOOD person. I will keep your family in my prayers and take care of each other and LOVE is the key to the mending process of the wheel being broken.

To family and friend's, I'm so sorry about the loss of your loved one. Death is not and never was God's purpose for humans. That's why he promises to resurrect all those who have fallen asleep in death. (John 5:28,29) (Acts 24:15) I hope that reading these few scriptures will help you to find some comfort during your time of grief. Sincerely, Tami Ziegler
