Not thinking you had enough food and then having much leftover is a God gift, I think. You are so much like your mother (and sister)who is just phenomenol in the kitchen. <br />That is such a comfort and gift in itself to those around you!!!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063538863025012110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-30850070207929010362011-02-03T17:38:52.280-05:002011-02-03T17:38:52.280-05:00I am so sorry for the loss of this husband.

I've just gotten home after surgery and have already received chicken & dumplings, soups, and pound cake...and a meal is coming tomorrow evening. Friends are so dear to help us out in times of need.CHERIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16339717663308847703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-2865904151794178522011-02-03T16:01:14.174-05:002011-02-03T16:01:14.174-05:00Bereavement dinners can be a wonderful blessin'...Bereavement dinners can be a wonderful blessin' to the family and a glorious ministry to those who serve.

When my daughter was so sick, many people bought food regularly for a whole year! I will always be grateful for their love and care.

What it does to the children and grandchildren. Yes, we feed people. Always. Our family usually has a family reunion when someone passes away because we don't often see aunts, uncles, cousins unless there is a death.<br />You've given me some food for thought this evening. Blessings to the dear lady who lost her husband.<br />BarbB. WHITTINGTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362600188243508446noreply@blogger.com
