To the family of Joyce Ledlow:
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your Mother. May the Lord put his mighty hand on you Ms Amy and the rest of your family. Just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ledlow family, one of the saddest things someone can experience is the death of a loved one. Did you know the Bible compares death to sleep? (Psalms 13:3) Just as a person who is asleep is unaware of what is happening around him, the dead are not conscious of anything. There is a promise of hope in the Bible. Our loving God has promised to awaken the dead, as if from sleep, and give them life again. Acts 24:15 says, “There is going to be a resurrection.” The Bible offers comfort for those who are grieving and I hope this brings you comfort as well.
I met Joyce in about 1963 when i was 17 at Central Baptist Church in Bowie TX. She was there to talk about going to the mission field. I have remembered her all my life and in about 2018 I was able to locate her and called and talked to her. So glad I did
