Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Our love goes out to each of you. You had a wonderful mama I am sure you will miss her. Frank and Debbie Joyner.
My sincere condolences to the Bradley family for your loss. Madeline will certainly be missed! I enjoy sharing the promises that Jehovah God has in his word the Bible about the end of death, and the hope for our dead loved ones, that certainly provide comfort-2 Cor. 13, 4! The scripture at Isa 258, helps us to appreciate that Jehovah will swallow up death forever, and wipe away all the tears of sorrow! What a wonderful time that will be, when death will be history! Jesus helps us to appreciate that we can reunite with our dead loved ones by means of the resurrection hope-John 528, 29! If you have any questions please email me, at [emailprotected] May your family be comforted!
Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I must say that I am so deeply sorry for your loss. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that 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.
It is never easy losing someone you love. May you take comfort in knowing that your loved one is only sleeping. The memories of your times together will give you comfort. Take comfort also in the hope of the resurrection. (John 1125) We know that these promises are true, because God can not lie. (Titus 12) What a great day that will be, a reunion with our dear loved ones.
