So sorry to hear of Maxine’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We are so sorry to hear of Maxine,s passing. I hope you will all find comfort in each other. Billy has waited a long time to see his Maxine, and now they will be together at last. That is what gave me comfort when my dad died, knowing he was my mom. Love you all and if you need anything just let us know.
So sorry to hear about your loss. We can’t begin to imagine the grief your family must be going through right now. We hope and pray that you can find comfort from God’s word the Bible (2 Thessalonians 1:3,4) Psalms 34:18 assures us that God is near to those who are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. We want to extend to your family our sincere condolences.
I recently read of the death of your loved one. Although we are not acquainted, please accept my sincere condolences. At 2 Corinthians 1:3, the Bible calls our Heavenly Father ‘..the God of all comfort.’ That Bible verse indicates that God can help His faithful servants to endure any problem or challenge that we may face. At John 5:28, 29 Jesus assures us that we will have the opportunity to be reunited with our loved ones in the resurrection. There Jesus says in part: ‘ …all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice… and come out.’ Until then, may the memories of Ms. Hipps strengthen you as the days progress toward the soon to be resurrection.
