Dear David,
There are not available to us the depth of words that can bring the needed comfort at such a time as this. I was saddened to read of your sisters passing David. May you be comforted by the memories and love that you cherished with your sister. Forever you will keep her in your heart.

May the God of abundant love and of all comfort be with the family during this difficult time in your lives. We all yearn for better conditions. It's refreshing to know that God's word promises a time when all sorrow mourning and pain will be gone forever.

I remember a beautiful girl in a 1980's class with a lovely memorable name, so gracious when I asked if she was related to professor Ammar. "Yes, he's my father."

Liz was a very precious and sweet soul. She was concerned with others, and her cats, over herself. It seems rare that such a beautiful soul should touch the
earth and leave a lasting impression on people that knew her. No matter what life threw at her, her heart remained unchanged, and all the love she had inside; she shared with others. With such a pure loving heart, there really was nothing in life that could ever destroy that within her. I am sure God took her home, because he wanted this beautiful soul with him in heaven for eternity. I feel so blessed and happy to have had the oppurtnity to have this woman as my dear friend. I am rejoicing that Liz is with Jesus and happy. God bless your soul, Liz, I love you and miss you so much. One of the last things you told Cherie was, "I miss our girl talk on Cheries porch." We will see you on the porch in heaven for coffee one day, my sweet friend.
