Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one. As you prepare to lay them to rest; to sleep in death for just a little while (John 1111) I hope your family will find solace in the resurrection promise of Jesus; to awaken those who are now sleeping in death (John 528,29) to restore them back to life; this time with the hope to live eternally on the renewed Paradise earth, so that Gods will, will be done on the earth, as it is in Heaven..-Matthew 69,10; Luke 2343. Until that wonderful blessed promise is fulfilled, and you are reunited with your loved one again; may Jehovah God soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort, during this most sadden time..-Matthew 54.
Hi my name is Kayla and I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one. I am a local bible student and 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 true comfort during these difficult times.
May God continue to carry you through this difficult time. Jehovah God, the Father of all tender mercies & the God of all comfort. Who comforts us in all our tribulation. 2 Cor. 1 3, 4. Remember God is with you now, & always. Romans 15 4, tells us that.. For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance & through the comfort from the scriptures we might have hope. Isnt it wonderful, that God loves us so much, that it is written, before we even need it. What a grand reunion, we are forward to, one day.

I remember Aunt Nancy family reunions, she was always so pretty and an intelligent lady. Uncle Earnie used to let my brother Wally and I play with his Air Force head gear. My younger brothers Norman and Ronald visited in 1956 and met the whole Allen family there. I remember LeRoy who was as large waisted man as i am now. Loved it when he laughed. An mamie was a real character too. Nancy is missed. Am so sorry for your loss Allen, my mother told me about how bright you were. I worked at Dartmouth and we compared stats all the time with Duke where I think my mom said you studied.
