As we make our journey through this life, death is our final stop. In a time when our tears are pouring, & our heart is breaking. (Ps.3418) The Bible gives us comfort in our time of grief. Even the perfect man ,JESUS CHRIST, Gave way to tears. So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) All-though Jesuss ministry was for only 3 years, it had the greatest impact, then any other event in all of history. Jesus was approachable, & kind, LOVE was the motivation, for everything That Jesus did. Jesus spend his ministry , telling the people of the kingdom, healing the sick, expelling demons, & in some cases raising some from the dead. (Rev. 213,4) Giving us a glimpse of what is yet to come. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come back to life (John 1125) May the God of all comfort give you refuge, & strength, in your most difficult time. (2 Cor. 13,4). Love was the reason for the ransom sacrifice, showing the great love that Jehovah & Jesus had for all of mankind. (John 316) What a wonderful gift we have been giving, to have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again.

So sorry for the loss of my childhood friend. Susan and I were always up to something. She was my neighbor and her mom and dad were friends with my mom and dad. This was such a shock to me. All will be in my prayers. Ann Holcomb
Tony, my heart goes out to you, and we are praying for you during this time of such a great shock and loss. Susan was my first cousin, and I send you my deepest sympathy. May God bless you with the peace that only He can send. I pray this for all the family. Love and blessings, Rose Mary Francis Martin
we are sorry for your loss. with deepest sympathy, Valley Chapel PH Church Axton,Va.
To my Brother Tony, I Love you Brother. We pray every day for you and at night before bed for Peace and understanding and to somehow know how to help reduce the pain and loss that I can only imagine you are feeling. It is much easier for me or anyone else for that matter to tell you that life goes on and that it will get much better and that Sue would want you to live your life to the fullest. Its all true, but, Im sure its not easy to imagine right now. We are always here for you my brother and you are thought of constantly. The many memories of time spent with Sue are also constant. I will never forget the many times in my earlier years that Sue was my Sister and my confidant. The hours she spent talking me thru one girl friend issue or another or just making me feel Loved and appreciated. It seems that we all grow up and spend more time with our new families and too much time with work and less time with those that helped shape our lives. Sue helped shape mine and she will be remembered and missed deeply. It is sadly true that bad things seem to happen to good people. My brother you are one of the best people I will ever know. I am so very sorry this has happened to you. The only comfort there is in this life is that God has a plan for all of us and he has one for Sue. It was her time to be called up and find out what he has in store for her. His plan for you is to stay behind for now and fight the good fight and live your life to the fullest, taking each day one step at a time. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. We Love you Sue. Brother Britt
