Adrian and Theda,
I have been praying for you even before I heard this news. I’ve had this experience before where God puts someone in my thoughts and prompts me to pray for them. I cannot imagine your heartache, but I am asking the God of the universe to comfort you.
We are so very, very saddened by your loss, more than words can say. Please know that our thoughts, our love and even more, our prayers are with you.
Our family holds all of you up in prayer. Monica was such an asset to your family.
We are so sorry for your loss. May you lean upon Jehovah during this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing we have hope of resurrection. Our prayers and thoughts are with all the family. With Much Love,Sam & Stephanie
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Sandra and Frank Damato
Please let us and your spiritual family embrace you with our love as you deal with this latest loss. Jehovah will continue to hold your hand and help you bear this until you see her again in the resurrection. My heart is truly with you both. Love, Sue
May Jehovah, our God of Comfort, give you the strength to endure the loss of Monica. I will always remember her ready smile and kind words. My prayers are of you and your family at this sad time.
I will miss seeing Monica sitting on her porch as her dogs play in the yard and her friendly wave as I drive by. Please take comfort in knowing that Jehovah "is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots." (Ps. 147:3) All our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My condolences to the family. I pray you find comfort in knowing that even though we may loose a loved one in death, God will bring to life all those found in his memory. (Job 14:15 John 5:28,29)
I miss you every single day. These condolences mean absolutely nothing without you here and these people left me alone. It’s always “in the moment” when death occurs, that people who barely knew you say the kindest things and act like they’ll be there. They weren’t… instead almost 10 years later, it still feels like you “just left me”. There are no words to describe the loss of my mother, she was the light of my life. I’ve been in the dark since she’s been gone and it’s eating away at me. Waking from the dreams in which you are still with me, only to be alone.
I still miss you more and more every day I think about you, I can’t believe it’s almost been 11 years, it feels like it were just yesterday. I love you mom, rest peacefully knowing you’re not having to deal with this world.
