    Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of your love one. I hope you will find comfort from the Scriptures, knowing what Jesus says about the hope for those asleep in death. Just imagine seeing your love ones again on the paradise earth. You can read about this hope at Isaiah 25:8.

    Ebony & John, Your Mom and I affection aslly called each other "Sisters". I will miss the laughs and joys that we shared thru the good & bad times. I will also miss our meeting up times at Belk & Wal-Mart late at night. Just remember how much she loved you and nothing stood in her way of ensuring that you and her grandchildren were okay! Pick up the torch and continue her legacy. Serving the Lord will pay off after while. To the entire family, I will continue to lift you up in prayer.

    Our warmest sympathies goes to you and yours in these difficult moments. May you find strength from the words of 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God. What a loving God who cares about each one of us. He didn't intend for us to grow old and die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection right here on earth when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.
