The Llora Family greatly appreciates the many acts of kindness extended to us including your prayers and expressions of love and sympathy. We also express great appreciation for the comforting and exceptional support provided to Anna by her fellow members of the Wilgrove-Mint Hill Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses during her six years as a widow (James 1:27; 1 Timothy 5:3).
My deepest sympathy for the family of Anna. What a blessing it has been to have such a wonderful friend 💛 I forward to seeing her again in the resurrection which is “just around the corner ” until then may we cherish the beautiful hope Anna did of living in paradise earth Rev 21:34
