Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Ron and I are so sorry for your loss. Hugs and love

I am so saddened to hear of your mother’s passing. I feel blessed to have had her in my life. She was truly a remarkable woman and loved by all who knew her. My love and prayers to all her family
I remember Margaret fondly from our days singing with Rocky Mount’s community chorus.
Doug and Mrs. Broad, I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family during these difficult times. May God grant you peace, comfort, and strength when you need them most only He can give. Cheryl A Landin Nash Community College
Though I didn’t see her much over the years, there was always a smile and a hug when I did. I know she will be greatly missed by all. I hope knowing that she’s in a better place will bring comfort to family and friends.
To the family, I express my deepest condolences for the loss of your love one. In the Bible, Jehovah God expresses death as a sting. (Psalms 8318; 1 Corinthians 1555,56) So this means that behind death, there is a painful hurt. He also knows what it is like to experience losing a love one as he did not spare his own son but handed him over for us all. (Romans 832) But soon God will do something amazing. All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. (John 528,29) Jehovah will use his Son to bring back all our dead loved ones to life! What a joy that will be! There, God will wipe out every tear from (our) eyes and death will be no more neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.(Revelation 214) So yes, although experiencing the temporary sting of death, we will have the prospect of joy living on a paradise earth free of death forever! A wonderful website with more information on this subject is http://www.jw.org. This is where more Bible truths await us all. Please visit the website in hopes to add more comfort to your hearts. (2 Corinthians 13) Again, sorry for your loss.
My mother, Pauline Batts, thoroughly enjoyed working at Kerr Drugs when your mother also worked there. Your mother was always so kind and a dear friend to my mother. My sympathy to your family.
To the family our sincere condolences go out to you in this extremely difficult time the death of a loved one can be devastating the Bible offers hope for a time when sickness and death will be no more revelation 213,4 I hope that your family will draw strength and comfort from Gods word the Bible pls visit our website at jw.org for more encouragement
