Lit a candle in memory of Edward (Eddie Buck) Ray Davis
Mr. Davis was a kind man that always had a smile when I saw him. I came to know him and Bell very well and they became part of my family here at Kindred. He will be truly missed. God Bless Paula Rouse
Mr. Davis will really be missed. When he came in to Bell’s life he gave her brighter days. His smile and kind words will be missed. My deepest sympathy to the family. Kathy Hardy, Kindred Nursing Center
My sincere condolences to the Davis family for your loss. During this time of sorrow, meditating on Jehovah promises, can really bring us comfort-2 Cor. 13-5! Jehovah promises that he will swallow up death forever- Isa 258! How wonderful that will be! He also helps us to appreciate that death doesn’t end it all, because Jehovah promises us that the dead will live-Isa. 2619. Jesus helped us to appreciate that we can be united with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection hope at John 528, 29. Jehovah has given his son Jesus the keys of death to unlock our dead loved ones from the grave-Rev. 118! May your family be comforted!
Love was the reason for the ransom sacrifice, showing the great love that Jehovah & Jesus had for all of mankind. (John 316) What a wonderful gift we have been giving, to have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. Death is the age-old enemy, we all meet as our journey end. It is never pleasant, when we loss someone we love. The pain at times, is so heart breaking, that our tears, keep on flowing. (Ps. 3418) Even the perfect man, JESUS CHRIST, Gave way to tears. So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) Without fear the way ahead
