Psalms 116:15
When they arrive at the gates of death, God welcomes those who love him. ( MSG VER)
I did not know Ms. Kirkland, but of her I knew much! She not only loved others as the lord commanded in John 13:34-35, she had the heart and wherewithal to love animals also,…even to risking her life to save them! Jesus said watch the fruit of a man, and not to depend on just his words! I know all I need to know about this brave lady, and I want to say God bless Gary, and her whole family in this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was such a help to my mom and stepdad who were her neighbors. I pray that God will be with you in this sad time and give you comfort. She will be missed by her family, friend, and furbabies.
Gary, I am truly sorry to hear about Linda. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Good Lord comfort you and watch over you during this difficult time. R.I.P. sweet Linda…. you will be deeply missed.
Gary no words can take away the pain/hurt you are going through. Remember the “51” years that you and Linda had together. May God walk with you now and forever and HE will. I did not know her but all I have heard about her she was a great WIFE and a FRIEND to all weather they had “TWO LEGS” or “FOUR”.
