I know your hearts are heavy currently but please accept my deepest sympathy. I wanted to share something with your family that was shared with me to help me copy with the loss of a loved one. This is it Never forget your loved one is in the memory of our Heavenly Father, the one who promises to restore life to our loved ones in the resurrection (John 528 & 29). This hope was made possible by the God of love who sent his son to die for us (John 316). The resurrection of our loved ones tells us a lot about God’s love and underserve kindness. What a joyous and delightful time it will be when the family and friends of Joanne will welcome her back to life in the RESURRECTION. May the words of Hebrews 69-11 comfort all of Joanne’s family and friends.
To the family of Joanne English, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved; please accept my condolences. May you find comfort by drawing close to God in prayer because, as the Bible promises, he will sustain you during this difficult time. – Psalm 5522
