Hey, Mom......still miss being able to call you up and tell you what's going on with us all the way over here in SC..... Is Dad giving God too much grief up there? Pray not. Will be seeing you in a few more years, if not sooner..... Love you deeply. Son

I am sorry for your loss. Death is always a painful event for us all. However Jehovah offers us comfort in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8. I always find this scripture to be of encouragement. Jehovah promises to do away with death and all things that bring us pain. How satisfying that will be. May joyful memories fill your minds and hearts through this difficult time.

My sincerest condolences go out to your family, it's never easy losing someone in death. May you take comfort in God's promise found at Revelation 21:4, which says "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.” This verse brought me peace when I experienced loss, I hope it can do the same for you. May the memories you have give you strength during this difficult time.

Deeply sadden to hear of your Mothers passing. She raised a beautiful family and I know you will always cherish her memories. Once I visited her in the hospital (many years ago) and immediately sensed her love for the Lord. Truly a Saint has entered Heaven's gates. Respectfully, Maxine Blackburn
