Susan — our hearts and thoughts are with you and your family during this time. Your grandmother must have been an amazing lady.
No words to describe what a special person she was to our family, her strength, her sense of humor, her simplicity of seeing life, right vs wrong, her value systems that shape all of us. Lots of Love to you Grandma, kiss Darrell David for me.
To the family : my sincere condolences.
There is no greater pain than the death of a loved one.
Sometimes it seems almost more than a person can bear.
Jehovah God helps us with this in His word,
He promises us that He will put a stop to all sickness
and death will be no more (REV 21;3.4) Jehovah also
shows His love for us through the ransom sacrifice
of His beloved son Jesus Christ. What a wonderful gift to be given !
Then the hope of seeing our loved ones again
on this earth, transformed into a paradise. The Bible tells us
this was Jehovah’s will when He created Adam & Eve.
