In Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. We say to the family sorrow and sadness under the power of GOD'S Divine grace and mercy performs miraculous ministries in our lives, even in times such as this the lost of your mother, but it is also Jesus Christ gain. She lived a life of faith believing and knowing that Jesus Christ is Lord. Trust in God and God will see you through in this time of sorrow and sadness.

The Family of the late Mrs. Caroline Boyd would like to express our deepest sympathy the the family of the late Susan Anderson. We encourage you the read "A LETTER FROM HEAVEN" by RUTH ANN McHaffey. This was a great inspiration to us and we feel it will be a great inspiration to you to know that your loved one is in a better place and at peace with the LORD. Yes, we are sure you will miss her as we sure do miss our mom who was the glue which kept the family together. We loved cousin Sue but we know that God loved her best. Be Bless and May God comfort you all and wipe away all tears. Again, this is from the Family of the late Caroline Boyd.
