Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Richard and I were deeply saddened by the news of your Mother’s passing. Our heart felt condolences to you and your family. It is never easy. Our prayers are with you and your family. Love always, Richard & Carol Lowther
Dear Family, I am saddened to learn of Maggie’s death but grateful for the long full life she had. She was such a lovely person; gracious, thoughtful, humble and so much more. A perfect example of the greatest generation that we hear so much about today. I am sorry that I cannot attend her funeral tomorrow as I have a previous obligation. I did go by the house today but with the locked gate and dogs I could not go in. Know that I am thinking of your family and wish you peace. Love, Carolyn Grant
My sincere condolences to the family for y’all loss. I know that Maggie will be missed. During this time of sorrow, mediating on Jehovah promises regarding the end of death(Isa 258), and being able to be reunited with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection hope(John 528, 29), can comfort us-2 Cor. 13,4. We can have confidence in Jehovah promises because he doesn’t lie-Numbers 2319! Please feel free to check out our official website http://www.jw.org. Go to Publications tab, and then go to the Books and Brochure tab and search for the Book What Does The Bible Really Teach Chapter 7 Real Hope for your Loved One Who Have Died. You can read it right online. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at [emailprotected] May your family be comforted!
She was a wonderful lady. I know you will surely miss her. Larry Joyner (son of Edna Joyner & grandson of Ester Winstead) [emailprotected]
hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258. It says that’s 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 true comfort during these difficult times.
When we lose someone we love. We need the comfort of family & friends to help us thou our pain. The greatest comfort of all is thou the Bible. The most well-known verse in the Bible is John 3 16 he loves, he gave, we believe, we live. Its the hope diamond of the Bible. We have been given so much hope, just in that one verse. We live, to see our loved ones again.
