Gerald and Family, Our prayers and thoughts go out to you all in this time of sadness. May God give you the strength to get through this and know that Linda is free of pain today and in a much better place than here on this earth. Try to remember all the good times you all had at Topsail Beach on Third Street and the neighbors and friends that you met there. That is where we first met you all and really cherished your friendship. Due to health problems we will not be able to be with you all for Linda’s service of remembrance on Wednesday but you will be in our hearts that day and always. Love and Prayers! Jollie and Sharon Eatmon
My sincere condolences to the Holland family for your loss. Certainly Linda will be missed! During this time of sorrow, mediating on the wonderful promises that Jehovah has in store in his word the Bible, regarding the end of death(Isa 258), and being able to see our loved ones again(Acts 2415), can give us comfort(2 Cor. 13, 4)! Please feel free to check out our website http://www.jw.org and go to publications and then books and brochures. You can consider the Brochure When Someone You Love Dies. Also you can search for the book What Does the Bible Really Teach, and read Chapter 6 Where Are The Dead and Chapter 7 Real Hope For Your Loved Ones Who Have Died. I’m sure that you will enjoy the Bible based information, that will take you right to your Bible! Please feel free to email me at [emailprotected] if you have any questions. May your family be comforted!
