Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I am sorry for your loss, please accept my heartfelt sympathy. While you are preparing to lay your loved one to rest, to sleep for a little while in death(John 1111), I hope you will find comfort in knowing that soon Jesus’ promise of the resurrection will be fulfilled; when he will awaken those who are sleeping in death, restoring them back to life, to live eternally on the Paradise earth.-John 528,28; Luke 2343. Until that blessed promise is fulfilled; may Jehovah God soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort.during this time of sorrow.-Matthew54.
My life has been blessed just knowing the sweet and loving spirit of dear June. It was a pleasure having her in our BFG ai Englewood Baptist Church..May God comfort you at this time of sadness. blessings and love, Jean Goarck
My condolence to the Donegan family for your loss. May you be comforted by the promises of Jehovah found in his word the Bible! He promises that the last enemy death will be brought to nothing-1 Cor.1526. Jehovah also promises that we can see our dead loved ones again, by means of a resurrection-John 528, 29 . These promises will come true because Jehovah doesn’t lie-Titus 12!
