, TX Sunday, March 24, 2013 To the family of Mrs. Hultgren,My deepest condolences over the loss of Peggy. When we lose a loved one to death, it leaves a void in our lives. We mourn because our hearts and minds tell us death is not normal. It is not right. No wonder; because death is God’s enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Mercifully, God in his infinite wisdom has made arrangements through his Son Christ Jesus to resurrect our loved ones to paradise. March 26, 2013 after sundown is the actual anniversary of the death of our Lord Christ Jesus. His death and resurrection gives us the reassurance that our loved ones will gain life again. May you find solace in this promise. May it comfort you as it gives hope for a future when death will be no more. (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4; Matthew 5:5) May the God of all comfort bring you and your family peace.

fremont, NE Thursday, March 21, 2013 Grandma,I can't thank you enough for all the special drives we shared. You never judge, and always understood when I needed someone to listen. My life and my children's life are so much richer having you apart of it. It is bitter sweet having to say good-bye, but I know you are in peace and I love you. Until we meet again.
