Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Hi my name is Kayla and I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one. I am a local bible student and there is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times.
Katie was one of the sweetest, kindest, loving lady that I know. She was always the same every time you saw her. And I know there are some that has known her longer than me but for about 43 years she has been a friend. I will miss the phone calls and her sweet smile. My prayers go out to all the family and may the Lord comfort you until you meet her again and cherish all those memories. Love you all.

My sincere condolence, in your time of sorrow. There is no greater pain then that of the death of a loved one. Sometimes it is always more then we can bear. Jehovah God helps us with his word. He shows his love for us through the ransom sacrifice of his beloved son, JESUS CHRIST, John 3 16. What a wonderful gift we have been given, then the hope of seeing our loved ones again.
