Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Praying for all the family
Dear Grant family, At this time of pain and grief please accept my condolence and deep regrets for your loss and I’d like to share where I found comfort and hope at a time such as this when this enemy death took my entire family. I found this in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John528,29 there it tells us we’ll see our love ones again in the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and Isaiah258 states that this enemy death will be swallowed up forever. These scriptures and others help my cope with my loss and get through each day because now I know I’ll see my love ones again and so can you. I wanted to share this with you at this time of need of comfort and hope in hopes this will help you also in some way for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this time and please know that I do share your grief and hope you’ll feel free to let me know if I accomplished my purpose. Hoping to hear from you. Sincerely, GM
Christina, Thinking of you and your family. Please know you are in our prayers.
Praying for your family.
Sorry to hear of Eleanor passing. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all.
Eleanor was a sweet and kind person and was always smiling. I will miss her very much.
we are going to miss you and I am glad that I got to know you .Bronna and me remember the times we talked on the phone love you and God has you now till we see each other again.
So sorry for your loss. In reading her obituary, I noticed she, like Jesus, was an advocate for children. (Mattnew 1913, 14) I know this made her dearly loved by many. We long for the day when death will be no more! (Rev. 213,4) Until then, we pray for comfort for your family.
Years of memories warm my heart through the tears. We laughed together, cried together and shared everything together. You will be waiting for me with your new body when I arrive. Thank you for your love, your friendship and all we have shared over time. I will miss you but thankful you no longer suffer the pain and disappointments of this earth. Farewell for now precious friend.
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss of such a wonderful woman! You all are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
Prayers for strength and peace

Memories of my beautiful friend, Eleanor, will rest in my heart forever. She gave me her collection of gorgeous brooches pinned to a pillow, one of a kind treasures. Now they will keep her sweet spirit with me always.
Ma Grant will be in my heart always. May God Bless all those that are missing her and wrap His loving arms around us for comfort, love, and strength.
