I am sending my prayers to the family of Regina, it’s times like these they we need an anchor, and it’s our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Weeping may endure for a night, but there is joy when the morning comes. So hold on to God’s unchanging hand. Jesus is on the main line, and it’s never busy, so call him up, he’s always waiting.
My deepest condolences and prayers to you Barry and family. This was such a shock to all but it was not to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Be NOT Dismayed whatever betides, GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

My condolences to the family and friends of Regina Reed May Jehovah God give you peace and comfort through This difficult time. (Isaiah 41:10) Jesus died for humankind and was resurrected through his Fathers love. Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ exercising faith in them with the tremendous love they have for us when we fall asleep in death we will see resurrection and everlasting life in God’s New Kingdom Paradise. (John 11:25,26)
I wanted to express my sincere condolences to the family and share some comfort from God’s word, the Bible. John 5: 28, 29 and Revelation 21: 3, 4 offer us the hope of a future resurrection and the complete elimination of death, mourning, and pain. Under Jesus’ kingdom rule, we have this and much more to look forward to.
