Please accept my sympathy to the loving Husband,Daughters,Family and Friends,in the very painful loss of your dear Tekla. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.Hopefully you will be comforted by the Bible Verses that follow: Rev21:4-5 “AND HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES AND DEATH WILL BE NO MORE,THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY”
