    Vanessa Burnette

    In her last days she asked me to read the Bible book of Psalms. We skipped over the parts about death and focused on the positive prayers. She is still missed. Revelation 21:1-5 and Acts 24:15 are the promises extended to everyone who has lost loved ones in death. Psalm 37 is Mom's promised future.

    Vanessa, so sorry to hear of your great loss. Like your mom, my loving, mother told me every day How beautiful I was. It's the most endearing confidence builder you can ever receive. It won't be long and our mom's and all others we have lost will be raised in the coming resurrection.. Love, Ann Korkolis

    She told me that she loved me every day, multiple times a day. She called me beautiful as often as she spoke to me. She helped me whenever I needed her. I miss her.
