Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Davis….she wss my mother’s roommate at Clapps a few months ago. I loved talking to her and we had a few laughs about some stories we heard there. She and my mother were very compatible and she made Mother’s time there easier. God bless her and the family. Mother sends her regards and was very sad to hear the news.
Our Thoughts and prayers are with the family today as celebrate the life of Connie. I remember Aunt Connie as a very spirited and gracious lady. Sending love and prayers to the entire family today in Rocky Mount. Loves
Davis Family, Please except my condolence. Your love one is asleep for a little while, the Bible give comfort to all, and the hope of you being reunited with your dead love. You can read this in your Bible at John 528,29 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out,those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgement. Jehovah God is the creator of life and the Bible calls him the source of life. ( Psalm 369, Acts 1724,25) The one who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died. This will take place through God’s Kingdom rule with Jesus Christ. Elizabeth
) Due to the ramson sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we know that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. The Bible gives us hope, over & over again. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come to life again. (John 1125) Jesus also said I am the vine & my Father is the cultivator. (John 151) The Bibles tells us that there will be no more tears, no pain, or sickness & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) What a wonderful time, we can look forward to, seeing our loved ones once again.
Hi my name is Kayla. I am a local bible student and I am so sorry for your loss. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258 that says soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and 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 comfort during these difficult times.
