I’m sure you all have very many wonderful memories of your mom…share those with each other during this time of sorrow. It helps to ease the pain!
During her long life on this Earth, LaVerna Roeber; was a baby, a child, a young woman, a bride, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, and a widow. Her time has come to leave the mortality of this Earth and to be welcomed by her beloved husband Leonard and others of her beloved family, who have waited for her from beyond the veil. Today, we will morn the loss of her presence, her words of guidance and kindness, her steadfast hand of rearing children of faith and her own faith has brought her home to her own reward. May God Bless us today, with thoughts of love and happier days of our own youth and our memories of LaVerna Roeber. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good “fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Henceforthe there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. In Jesus Christ Name We pray these words of comfort and love Amen
I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
