Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I know the pain that death can bring to the heart. It is indeed the worse pain we will ever have to go through, in our walk of life.The Bible helps us with our grief. Jesus gave way to tears when his friend Lazarous died. (John1135) Jesus said I am the resurrection & the life. (John 1125) Jehovah showed his love for us through the ramson sacrifice of his beloved son Jesus Christ. (John 163) I can’t think of any greater gift then that. What a wonderful hope to know that we will be able to see our loved one again.
I thank God for wonderful memories of Fay and her family. She is with the Lord looking down on her family and will continue to watch over them. What is a life without good memories Love you all, Barbara Lucas Robbins
