    My condolences to the Barnes Family. To loose a loved one in death is never easy and death is an enemy that leaves a heart of pain and emptiness. However the Almighty God made provisions to undo the suffering, sickness, pains and to do away with death forever. Jesus Christ showed his power, care and love for mankind when he was on the earth. Very soon the fulfillment of God’s word will be realized, and all those asleep in death will be awaken to a life of perfect peace on a perfect paradise earth(John 5:28&29- those in the memorial tombs will hear the voice of his son Jesus and come out; Isaiah 25:8 – Jehovah God will swallow up death forever; Psalms 37:10,11&29- the meek and righteous one will possess the earth and live forever upon it). I hope these scriptures and wonderful promise from God brings you much comfort during this difficult time. Revelation 21:4-Gods promise that death will soon be no more.

    Kind thoughts to Janes family. I knew Janes mother very well and I knew Jane in high school. My daughter went fishing with Jane at the Kappa house They loved Jane. It wasn’t until one of our reunions that Jane and I pit all those facts together and we were both amazed. Jane was funny, loving and a wonderful woman.

    The Barnes family (Carmi. Ursala Tyler Nichole and Bryan). Noone can ever no what to say in times like these. The loss of any family member can be devastating but the loss of a mother/grandmother takes it toll from every angle. Noone can say that things will get better, Noone can say that it takes time. In losing a love one you can only learn to live with the pain. I pray for the family that God will give you peace. Myra and family

    To the Family: I am so sorry for your loss. The death of a loved one is never an easy matter for any of us to cope with, but we do have the assurance of our Heavenly Father that he will comfort us in all our tribulations. (Psalms 55:22) Death was never a part of the Creator’s purpose for mankind, so, he has furnished a guarantee by means of his Son, Christ Jesus, that we will see our loved ones again. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28) I pray that you may draw comfort from these words.
