I am sorry to read about the passing of your love one. I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends. When the enemy death strikes our grief can be great. It is at times like this that we need comfort and support. I have found the Bible to be very comforting in this regard. At John 5: 28 & 29 the words of our Lord & Savior Christ Jesus are comforting: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Yes, Almighty God Jehovah through his Son Christ Jesus has promise to resurrect our love ones into a beautiful Paradise earth. All of God’s promise we can trust, for it is impossible for God to lie. Hold on to your wonderful memories, for she will not be forgotten by you or Almighty God Jehovah.-Luke 23:43, Psalms 37:29, Hebrews 6:18.
Thinking of each of you with heartfelt sympathy. Sis was such a vibrant, spirited lady who radiated her love for family, friends, church, life, and living. She made a difference in our community and will be dearly missed. May His caring arms be around each of you in love and compassion during these difficult days. Donna Jacob, MVHS, Ret.
