With Heartfelt Sympathy, May you find comfort in God’s word and in the knowledge that others sympathize with you in your loss. Since this is one of the hardest things we will ever have to cope with, the Bible offers hope. Pointing to a glorious time, Isaiah 25:8 says, ‘God will actually swallow up death forever and Jehovah will certainly wipe away tears from our faces…’ . Please read John 5:28,29. It has helped many bereaved and myself. I pray it does the same for you.
Dave, Mary Kim, Raeann, & families, So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all that knew her. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Raeann,Jim ,Katie, David , Mary Kim, Your Mom is FREE of pain and can rest in the arms of God. Hold your memories close and they will help get you through these long days ahead.
