Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. 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.
It was great sadness that we learn of Deborah’s passing, please accept our heartfelt condolences. We pray the Lord will embrace your Family during the difficult times.
So sorry to read of Deborah’s passing. I cut Deb’s hair many times, and Johnathan’s too. Have not seen her for some time but praying for the family. May God’s Blessings be with you all..Doug & Jane Smith
