Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.~ Oscars Mortuary
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 24:15)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4;John 5:28,29;Luke 23:43. may GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4~ M Jones New Bern, NC
To the family of Mrs. Bertha Merritt. We were so very saddened to learn about your loss. Fortunately, death is only a temporary part of life. Jesus promised us a wonderful resurrection of the dead (John 5:28,29/1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14), so we have the hope of being reunited with our deceased loved ones. In the meantime, even though the pain of loss through death may seem sometimes insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure the difficult days ahead (Psalm 46:1). Please accept our deepest sympathy and sincere condolences.~ Dr. Erroll L. & Rev. Phyllis T. Royal Raleigh, NC
Kim....there are so few comforting words when we need them most. The passing of the one who first introduced us to this planet and who loved us along its paths is never easy.” I know this...My precious mom went to be with the lord in July and my dad 4 months later in Nov..I am up late if you need someone to talk to at night. You and your brother David stick together and lean on one another...for I know your mothers life was rich because of you two..Sent with love and remembrance.”
~ Hermine Ernul Lovick Virginia Beach, VA
