So very sorry for your loss. May God bless and keep all those affected in his loving arms. Terry & Deborah (Galyean) McWhirt
Doris and family, I am sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God make each of you strong during this painful time.
I am so sorry for your loss. The pain of death can be overwhelming no matter the age. The Bible provides comfort during difficult times. We are promised at 1 Corinthians 15:26 that,very soon now, ‘death will be brought to nothing’. Then we have the prospect of being reunited with our loved one right here on Earth (John 5:28,29) without any wickedness (Psalms 37: 10,11). I hope this brings you comfort and hope.
