Tony, What can comfort you When a loved one is lost, When the pain is so great And your world?s been tossed? What can calm you When no words know how, When the load is hard to bear And you need relief right now? What can guide you When you?re not sure which way to go, When the mountain seems too steep And you?re in the valley so low? What can uplift you When you can?t see this trial?s end? Only the arms of the Lord And the prayers of a friend. Thinking of you in this time of tragedy and sorrow–You are in my thoughts and prayers–if you need to talk–remember I’m here.
My family and I offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends on the passing of your dear love one. When an unforeseen occurrence befalls us, it is at times like this that we need comfort and support whether we are acquainted or not. May the Father of tender mercies the God of all Comfort, comforts you now and in the days to come. Yes, our Heavenly Father wants you to throw all of your burdens upon him, and He will sustain you. Almighty God has also furnished us with a guarantee that the resurrection will take place. Yes, “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”, as quoted by his Son Christ Jesus. Whatever Almighty God promises will come true, for it is impossible for God to lie. A beautiful Paradise earth is promised by Almighty God, where righteous and meekness ones will reside forever. The resurrection hope is bible based and will come true. In order for us to put faith in these promises, we have to be certain that the one making the promises are both willing and able to fulfill them. The Bible scriptures do just that. So, hold on to your wonderful memories of Michelle Fountain-Brayton, for she will not be forgotten by you or Almighty God Jehovah.-John 5: 28 & 29, Acts 17:31, Psalms 37:29, Hebrews 6:18.
