I will always cherish my memories and visits with aunt Maggie. I did not get to see her often but the time I did get to spend with her will be with me forever. I loved watching her cook. Candace Bone(Wayne’s daughter, Luther’s granddaughter).
Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture 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 all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times.
