Condolence: Sorry to hear about the lost of your dear loved one. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 the Bible describes death as an enemy. Death is truly a painful distressing thing. God invites us to draw close to him through these difficult moments. The Bible gives us comfort about our future hope for mankind and the death of our loved ones at Revelations 21:3,4.

Condolence: I’m so sorry to hear about Verna. Peace and hope from Jehovah are the only things that get me through. When the time that John 5:28,29 speaks of comes to be, we will all have hearts full of joy, as we embrace our lost loved ones once again.

Condolence: She often said “nothing lasts forever,” but she gave it one heck of a try. We visited on her 98th birthday on October 8th, and her last words to me were “see ya later alligator” as Lisa and I were leaving. I will miss her comical remarks, hockey-puck hard cookies, Pong video game, and the nickel-dime poker games. Our memories of her will last forever.
