Print Obituary & Condolences
my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May the God of comfort, comfort you during these trying times as we all await the fulfillment of the promise in Revelation 21: 3, 4
Thank you so much for your kind words.
May God’s promise at John 5:28,29 of a future resurrection bring you comfort. Until that time comes, he assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he “is close to the brokenhearted” and “saves those who are crushed in spirit.” So he understands your pain and grief and is eager to help you by giving you the strength you need to cope during this most difficult time. (Philippians 4:13)
Thank you so much for your truly kind words at this time!
I’m so sorry Still lost for words
Not good at this my prayers are with the family
Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss of Melissa . It is so hard to loose a family member especially at the young age of 45. Please remember that we are promised by Jesus that we will have an opportunity to be reunited with our loved ones again here on earth. John 5:28+29 gives us such a wonderful hope, please read it for yourself or go to jw.org for more information or take advantage of the on line bible study.Please be encouraged by these things as I was when I lost my Dad.
That video made me cry I can understand what you and your family are going through I lost my mom back in 2010 and watching that video just brought so many memories back of my mom I wish I would have done what you did with the video that was truly beautiful my condolences to you and your family.
We will always love you dearly. Your absence in our life is still hard to believe but I know the LORD was ready to call you to your heavenly home. Fly high Daughter until we meet again.
