    To the Tripp family, we are sincerely sorry to hear of Sister Tripp’s passing. While at Goose Creek, Sister Tripp took us in and treated us no different than her own. She fed us like her own and watched us like her own. While most others went home to their families on Sunday afternoons, Sister Tripp took us in, and showered us with her love. We are sorry we could not make it today, but please know that our hearts and prayers are with you during this time of bereavement. Sincerely, The Simmons Children

    To the family and friends: We're so sorry to hear you are mourning the recent loss of your loved one.  May you find strength  and comfort from the words of Psalms 46:1 which reads: "God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress." Our loving God is there for us if we ask for his help (1 John 5:14). 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.

    Linda, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. My deepest condolences go out to you and your family. Your mom was an awesome lady and I will never forget the love and the welcome she extended to me when you took me to meet her a few years ago. She welcomed me like a daughter and treated me as one of her own. I never forgot that. I pray God's comfort will surround you and your family at this time of such a great loss.

    My Dear Family, I am sorry to hear the loss of your dear mother and my Auntie Lucille. My deepest sympathy for such a beautiful lady. I remember the oatmeal breakfast that your mom use to make when we overstayed our time at her home and we were not allowed to leave because it was dark. I know you will miss her dearly. May she rest in heavenly peace.

    My sincere condolences for your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Remember that God promises at Rev. 21:4: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Remember God cares about you and he will never abandon you. Isaiah 41:10: Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.
