Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My sincere condolence to the Rowe family for your loss. Certainly Lucille will be missed! During this time of sorrow mediating on Jehovah promises found in his word the Bible, about the end of death, and the hope for our dead loved ones, can certainly bring us a comfort-2 Cor. 3, 4 Regarding the end of death, the scripture at 1 Cor. 1526 helps us tp appreciate that our enemy death, will be brought to nothing. How wonderful it will be, to know that death will be done away with for good! We can have confidence that this will happen, because Jehovah doesn’t lie-Titus 12! Regarding the hope of our dead loved ones, Jesus helps us to appreciate that we can be reunited with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection-John 528, 29! Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at [emailprotected] May your family be comforted!

A journey of life, with every drop of rain, comes life, with every life comes memories. Each memory that is treasured becomes a comfort. God also gives us comfort through his word the Bible. The verse that gives me much comfort is John 316. When I think of the pain that Jesus went thou, it brings me to tears. What a wonderful gift we have been given.
