Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I was sorry to read about the loss of your dear loved one. The bible gives us hope of seeing them again in the promised resurrection to come according to scriptures such as [John 528-29] and [Acts chapter 2415]. We find further hope at scriptures like [Isaiah 258] and [Revelations 213-5] which says in part that Jehovah God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, because God will swallow up death forever. I hope these scriptures will be of some comfort. My Sincere Condolences.
Sending you warm thoughts. She was a beautiful lady!! I know you will miss her. Rachel
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. There is a very comforting scripture found 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 look forward to a time when death will be done away with forever. I hope that this scripture can bring some comfort during this time.
Will always remember the beautiful singing Ms. May did on our motorcoach trips. She was a blessing to me. Sending love and prayers to the family.
Thoughts and prayers for the family, the love and memories of a Mother live on in your hearts!
So sorry for your loss. Everyone at Cool Springs Primitive Baptist Church has you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Our sincere condolences.
Alice, So sorry to hear about your mom, but I believe that she’s in a better place, God bless you and your family and everyone else involved, may the Holy Spirit fill the void in your hearts. Sorry that I was unable to attend her funeral, I read the e-mail Monday.
So sorry to hear of your loss. What a wonderful legacy she is leaving behind and I know she will be sorely missed. Hugs, love and prayers for those grieving. Love, The Hindman family.
I had the privilege to know Sister Mae and Brother Alvin many years from the Old Baptist Churches. I met them shortly after a wreck which injured the two daughters and Sister Mae. We became friends and enjoyed singing together in homes in the the Primitive Baptist services. Many memories of joyful times and even in sad times follow our friendship over many years. I pray that her family have the consolation of knowing that they grew up in a home unlike many today, a Godly home abounding in love for one another and for God. Our prayers are with you, Elbert and Marietta Robbins
I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 2415)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 213,4;John 528,29;Luke 2343. may GOD(Psalms 8318)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 54.
