I am deeply sorry for your loss. At times like this it is comforting to know what the Bible says about the future. At John 11:25 it says that Jesus promised a resurrection for those who exercise faith in him. In Psalms 37:10, 11, 29 it speaks of how the earth will have peaceful and righteous conditions. The Bible promises us a time when our dead loved ones will be resurrected and we will be able to live with them on a paradise earth forever.
Sincerely,
Michelle

Thank you for giving me the strength to pull through the sadness I had to deal with in my life. You kind and loving words always brighten my dark and gloomy days. Heaven received a great Angel.

Mrs. Chase was always a classey lady. I've known her most of my life. Always showed Jesus to everyone she met. I know she was loved by her family because they've told me so. Well done, good & faithful soldier!!

Grandma I will miss you so much. I will miss your laughter, singing and hugs the most. You and I have shared many adventures. You were an angel here on earth, and are now an angel in heaven. I know you are looking down on us and smiling. Thank you for always being there for me. Love to you always, Sue, Tristan and Kaleb
