I am sorry to read about the passing of your love one. I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends. When unforeseen occurrences befall us, and the enemy death strikes our grief can be great. It is at times like this that we need comfort and support whether we are acquainted or not. May the scriptures found at Revelation 21: 1-5, prove to be a source of great comfort for you now, and in the days to come. Your dearly beloved one will not be forgotten, for Almighty God has promised the ?resurrection.? As promised by his Son Christ Jesus ?all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out?? What a grand reunion that will be! You and I have the prospects of seeing our love ones again under the best condition possible, a beautiful Paradise earth; God?s original purpose for mankind. All of God?s promises will come true, for it is impossible for God to lie. Hold on to the wonderful memories that you have, for your beloved one will not be forgotten by you or our Heavenly Father Jehovah. Please look up the cited scriptures in your personal copy of the Bible – John 5: 28 & 29, Luke 23:43, Psalms 37:29, Hebrews 6:18.

Dear Lisa & Bruce, Gina & Dave, Jeff & Tracy, Cara, Julann & Velma….and anyone else who may recieve this. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Most of my memories of Warren and your father involve all those chicken cookouts over at Velma’s. Everywhere I have traveled people have heard about those times. Very good times. Remember Warren mostly being quiet and keeping to himself. From old times to more recent times of having taken part of his care during the times he spent at University Hospital. Most of us remember him and get a smile on our faces. Yes, he could be a real stinker, but it was always interesting. Always interesting. Now he is at peace and you all have your wealth of memories. With sincierest sympathy, Julie Juett
