To the family, we are sincerely sorry for your loss. It’s never easy to lose a loved one under any circumstance. Please be assured that Jehovah God is aware of your pain and he is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). The bible promises us that there will be a resurrection (John 5:28, 29) and that God will bring an end to death once and for all (Revelation 21:4). From that point on we will never have to feel the pangs of death again. We pray these words and scriptures are able to bring you some comfort.
Diane so very sorry of the death of your mother. our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
So sorry to here of our Phylis passing. We did not know until today when we sent her Christmas flowers and the florist contacted us.
She was a wonderful grandmother and great grandmother to our children.
