Condolence from Bill and Patricia Mills on July 27th, 2017 5:09 pm

So sorry for your loss Becky. I can’t even imagine how you are feeling. Praying for you and your family.

Condolence from Anonymous on July 27th, 2017 5:26 pm

Greatest condolences to you and your family. It is not within our human nature instilled in us to know how to feel or deal with the death of a loved one. We can only look to the better hope there is ahead. Ponder on the day we will be able to see him again and all of the wonderful happy memories shared. Acts 24:15 states ” I have a hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”

My most favorite scripture- Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry no pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Although this is such a hard time, one can only imagine, please, take heart in knowing God is not unjust. He is Merciful, Kind, Loving, and with all his Wisdom and Power he will be able to give you comfort and hope.

Loving Prayers,

Condolence from Brian’s mom, Becky on January 17th, 2024 10:55 pm
