Dear Jane, Kathryn and families, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. She was an elegant, bright and loving woman who will be missed by all who knew her. Our deepest sympathies, Susan and Allan Barker
Dear Kathryn and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you on the loss of your mom. I saw the write-up in the Raleigh paper. Her picture is beautiful. Although no one can ever take her place, find someone whom you are close to and cherish that relationship. For me, that person was my mother’s sister. I call her every day. Take care and remember that others are thinking of you. Love, Deborah Wheeless Harcz
The Bible promises that those who have died will be resurrected to a paradise earth. (John 528,29) Communicate your feeling, Kind words will cheer you up. (Prov. 1225) Keeping your feeling bottled up inside may make it difficult for you to deal with your grief. On the other hand, discussing your feelings with someone you trust will open the way for you to receive kind words of encouragement when you need it most. God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, & death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. (Rev. 214) Talk to God. Likely, you will feel much better after you pour out your heart to Jehovah God in prayer. (Ps. 628) This is not simply a feel-good therapy. In prayer, you are appealing to the God of all comfort, who comfort us in all our tribulation. (2 Cor. 13,4) By these following scriptures. Ps. 3418; Ps. 10217; Ps. 1473; Isaiah 258. It is my hope that some of these will help you, as they did for me. giving, hope to see our loved ones once again
