Condolences

Condolence From: Harolyne Grant
Condolence: Dear family and friends of Rachele :

It has been more than a year since Rachele died last July 9, 2017. Even so, I know Rachele is still loved and will never be forgotten. The passing of time puts a cool bandage on the burning pain of loss, and, … making it through the day without her, does get easier. Still, the loss hurts, especially when anniversaries come up.

May I tell you about a future day coming when ... all those sleeping, Resting In Peace, will be resurrected to a peaceful, happy life here on a transformed, paradise Earth?

You can welcome back Rachele, with hugs and kisses, and your hurt and pain regarding this loss can be replaced with indescribable happiness and tears of joy. Then the scripture at Isaiah 65:17B can be fulfilled for you: "For look, ... the former (painful) things will not be called to mind neither will they come up into the heart." None of the hurts, sorrows or disappointments of life in this system of things will bother us then.

Would you like to know when and how Jehovah God will do such wonderful things for us? The answers are all in the Bible.

Sincerely yours,
Harolyne

Condolence: Dear Christina-&-Michael, Brian-&-Jennifer, Nanci-&-John, Matthew, Ellen, Lorraine, Family and Friends:

I was saddened to learn of the death of Rachel on July 9 2017. Please accept my deepest sympathy at your loss. May I share some promises from the Bible that bring comfort at this time of loss?

First, it was never our Creator's purpose that anyone should die, ever! When He put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they had the prospect of endless life, in ageless bodies, in perfect health, on a perfect Earth (Genesis 1:28). Adam and Eve could have passed that life on to us, but they sinned and lost everything for themselves ... and us. (Romans 5:12)

It is a comfort and softens our feelings toward our Creator, Jehovah God, to learn that it is Satan who causes imperfection with its disabilities, aging, sicknesses like Alzheimer's and cancer, and death -- not God (Hebrews 2:14).

I am always happy when I remember that the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, are our guarantees that this Earth will yet be a PEACEFUL, global paradise. One day Ann will be resurrected to enjoy it, and so will countless others, including Robby. Remember Jesus' words at John 5:28-29a and John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life," and "all those in the memorial tombs ... will be resurrected." Until then Ann, sleep, Rest In Peace.

May you have comfort and peace from these promises until the day when you can be reunited with a young (Job 33:24-5) and totally healthy (Isaiah 33:24) Ann!

With deepest sympathy and genuine respect,
Harolyne Grant

Condolence: My most precious friend. We danced our last dance together last week and that memory is helping me through. But we also danced many other times, at our children's weddings and at family parties. We shared many happy memories along with some sad memories. From the moment we met with Christina and Robby attending nursery school, we knew our friendship would last and it did for over 40 years. Through it all we remained BFF. I will miss you so very much my beloved friend. I know there will not be a day that I don't give of you with love in my heart.You were always there for me and I hope you felt the same way about me. You were the kindest person I know. Please give my beloved son Robby a big hug and kiss from me. Till we meet again, God Bless You. Love Lorraine
