Robin and Velvet… I am so sorry. She was a sweet person. Sending love and sympathies. And Velvet, I always thought you looked so much like Judith, and that photo on here confirms it even more. Love, Robin Latham
Our prayers are for easing your time of personal loss . from Nancy & Duane
This is from my mom, Sally Conner White my prayers are with you at this very difficult time. However, she is in a much better place now. We will miss her.
My sincere condolences to the Blackwell family for your loss. During this time of sorrow, meditating on Jehovah promises found in his word the Bible can bring us comfort-2 Cor. 13-5. How wonderful it Is to think about a time when there will absolutely be no more death-Rev 213-5! Sometimes the question Does Death End It all is raised. The Bible teaches that death doesn’t end it all because Jesus himself has the keys of death, making it possible for us to be reunited with our dead loved ones. Soon Jesus will resurrect our loved ones from the memorial tombs! What a remarkable time that will be-Rev. 118, John 528, 29! May your family be comforted!
