Condolences

    Deuteronomy 32:7 Remember the days of old. Always keep your loved ones memory alive.

  • January 29, 2019

    Praying that you will find comfort in your memories of your loved one and the knowledge that others are missing her too. Psalms 55:22 tells us to cast our burdens upon the Lord and he will sustain us.

  • January 21, 2019

    Offering my deep sympathy. Try to imagine a time when there will be no more sickness, pain or death. When we can live forever with our loved ones, even those who fell asleep in death and have been resurrected. That is God's promise to us (Rev. 21:3, 4; Psalms 37:29).
