My condolence to the family. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that God cares for you when tragedy strikes and he invites us to "throw all our burdens on him". (Psalms 55:22) Be assured that God will do away with death one day soon. He will change our pains into rejoicing by bringing back to life our loved ones who have died. Job 14:14,15
God is able........Trust him for comfort and guidance.
We mourn with you for your loss of someone special Doris.Moses was confident that Jehovah can resurrect the dead.Luke 20:38 States" He is not a God, not of the dead but of the living, For they (dead) are all living to him".
To the Jordan family, we offer condolences and express sympathy in the passing of our classmate Doris. As we remember her as a classmate she was always so full of joy and always made you laugh. She wanted everyone around her to be happy and joyful. From the early days at Merritt Jr. High School and onto to Bullock County High, all we can do is smile when we think of Doris because she kept a happy smile on her face. On behalf of Bullock County High School Class of 1981, we pray that God will continue to comfort and strengthen you, and remember- THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKEN HEARTED AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT. Amen and Amen.
