My sympathy to the loved ones of Mrs. Millsaps, and may these promises from the Bible bring them comfort as they endure the loss of their dear one. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Peace be with you.
Shirley was a good person who truly loved her family. She’s had a rough year and amazed everyone by rallying over and over again. Remember she will always be with you. There is no more pain…she’s with the angels now.
