  2. Bobby and family So sorry for your lose! Our prayer and thoughts are with you. Sister, As peace has fallen upon your head A taste of sorrow weve all been fed But I have hope that those sleeping will rise The Bible says that God will open their eyes. No suffering, sickness, yes not even pain, Those who did good, eternal life they’ll gain. So… sleep on my sister, sleep tight For now with you the sky is night. But after night will come the day There you will wait. As we come through heavens gate! God bless you Bobby. The Brannon Family

  3. To the family of Ms. Davis I would like to express my sincere condolence for your loss! Certainly Ms. Davis will be missed! During this time of sorrow, comfort is needed and the bible provides it! The Most High God(Ps 8318) promises to do away with our greatest enemy death- 1 Cor. 1526. Can you imagine no more tears of sorrow and mourning, because death will be out of commission! Death was never a part of God’s plan, so how eager he is to do away with it soon-Rev 213-5-! Also it is wonderful to know about the resurrection hope at John 528, 29! Imagine seeing your loved ones again! God doesn’t lie!-Titus 12. May the family be comforted and have a peace of mind!

  4. As we make our journey through this life, death is our final battle. Whenever I am troubled, & lost in deep despair, I bundle all my troubles up & go to God in prayer. I tell him I am heartsick & lost & lonely, too, That my mind is deeply burdened & I dont know what to do But I know he loves me & I humbly ask if in his love hell calm my heart, for me& then I just keep quiet & think, only thoughts of peace & if I abide in stillness my restless murmurings cease. (Ps.3418) (John 316) Due to the ramson sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we know that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. The Bible gives us hope, over & over again. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come to life again. (John 1125) Jesus also said I am the vine & my Father is the cultivator. (John 151) The Bibles tells us that there will be no more tears, no pain, or sickness & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) What a wonderful time, we can look forward to, seeing our loved ones once again
