Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.~ Scotts Funeral Home
I'm very sorry for your loss. I would like to share a thought that has helped me. Isaiah tells us that "He (God) will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe the tears from all faces". (Isaiah 25:8,9). Jesus confirms there will be a time when death will be no more and he also promises a resurrection, "Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life. (John 5:28,29). What a glorious promise to look forward to, when we can see our loved ones again. Comfort can also be found at Psalms 55:22 where Jehovah God invites us to "throw our burdens upon Jehovah". I hope you will be able to get some comfort from these scriptural thoughts as I have.~ Trevor B VA
May God's grace surround the family during this time of
sadness.~ L. Shirley Harvey Richmond, VA
I am sincerely sorry for your loss and I offer my condolences. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah promises of a time when all suffering and death will be a thing of the past. At Revelation 21:3,4 it says in part "...And He(God) will wipe out every tear form their eyes, and DEATH will be more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." You can be assured that you can see your dead loved ones again.

Please accept my heartfelt condolence on the loss of your loved one. My family and I have found comfort in the Bible's promise of a time when death will be no more; -
"And He (God) 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." - Revelation 21:4.
May the memories of your loved one sustain you until God's promises are soon fulfilled - "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day."- John 6:40.

Jackie was a dear dear sister of our "beach family." We were blessed to spend Saturday to Monday with her at the beach house and what a time we did have. Lots of laughter, food and fun. Jackie, we will miss you and sending much love to you in heaven. Rest well dear sis. You did it your way. DING!
Your Beach Family~ Gwen Whiting Chester, VA
The world has lost a truly beautiful soul. We will miss our very dear friend and wonderful neighbor and all of the love and laughter and silliness we shared over the years. There is such emptiness now and looking across the street will never be the same but Jackie will remain in both of our hearts forever. Until we meet again, sweet friend.~ Clark & Melanie Lambert Richmond, VA
To the Family. Please accept my sincere condolences. God's Word is a great source of comfort and hope during difficult times and Jehovah God, the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3) is fully aware of your sadness. Revelation 21:4 promises, "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." Acts 24:15 promises, "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." Please reflect on these future promises because Jehovah himself declares, 'I am making all things new' and 'these words are faithful and true.' ~Revelation 21:5~ Janet White Richmond, VA
