  1. I am so very sorry to hear that Karen passed away, Dorothy. I know, you will miss her. I wish I could be closer, so that I could hold your hand and give you a hug. Maybe, Ken will do it for me? Please convey my sincerest sympathy to the rest of your family, too. Love, Claudine

  2. I am sorry to read about the passing of your love one. I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends. It may seem unfair that sickness, which can cause death, has the power to take away someone we love. Yes, when 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 you rely on the ?Father of tender mercies, the God of all Comforts, who comforts us in all our tribulations. Through his word the Bible, our Heavenly Father provides satisfying answers which brings us comfort now, and a hope that does not lead to disappointment. At Isaiah 33:24, our Heavenly Father has promised in the near future that ‘no resident will say, ?I am sick. ‘Yes, sickness, death, outcry, sorrow and pain will be things of the past.’ Almighty God has also promised to bring about the ?resurrection?. As promised by his Son, Christ Jesus: “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out…” ?I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me even though he dies shall live again.? Yes, You and I have the prospects of seeing our love ones again under the best condition possible, a beautiful Paradise; God’s original purpose for mankind. What a grand reunion that will be! All of God’s promises will come true, for it is impossible for Almighty God to lie. Once again, you have my heartfelt condolences. ? John 5: 28 & 29, 11:25, Luke 23:43, Psalms 37:29, Titus 1: 2.
