  1. Dear Mr. Rosser and family, It is with a great sorrow that we write to you now in the loss of your loving wife, mother and grandmother. We pray that God’s love will surround you in this time of grief and that it will help to heal your loss as you reflect on the wonderful memories you have of your time together knowing that she is safe, whole and without pain now in the presence of her Lord and Savior and our Heavenly Father. Praying for you, Rev. and Mrs. Allen Williams (Debbie)

  2. Few things in life will ever affect us more deeply than the death of a loved one. Afterwards, you may have to be contending with a range of emotions that you never before experienced. Death affects each person differently. Indeed, the Bible says that each one has his own plague & his own pain.(2 Chron. 629) Crying is not a sign of weakness. Even such strong men as Abraham, Joseph, David, & Jesus shed tears when they were grieving.- Gen. 232; Gen. 501; 2 Samuel 111,12; Samuel 1833; John 1135. Grief can be like waves that crashed ashore at unexpected moments. This is normaleven if it occurs years after your loved ones death. Dont hold back the tears! Crying helps ease the pain of grief. People grief in different ways. The important thing is this If you feel tears welling up, realize that it may be A time to weep (Ecc. 34) Jesus Christ was a perfect man who had strong faith in God. Yet, he Gave way to tears over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) We can find much comfort through the help of the Bible. In time the grief will ease & you will be able to carry on, from one day to the next. I hope that these words will help you in your time of need
