The family and friends (loved ones) of Carol are not walking alone on this road, this family I know, will not let this grief become a source of bitterness. They know that the Holy Spirit is also called the Comforter. God will use your sorrow to strengthen your relationship with Him. Remember, the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in Spirit. I love each and everyone one of you and I will always be praying for each.
