Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

To the Family: The loss of a loved one causes so much pain and grief. It is at a time like this we appreciate the love of family and friends to comfort us. May your family and friends be there for you in the days, weeks and months ahead of you. Find strength and hope also in the promises found at Daniel 12:2; Acts 9:36-41 and Revelation 21:3-5

W.J.

To the Family. Our sympathy. ‘For this is what the High and Lofty One says, Who lives forever and whose name is holy: I reside in the high and holy place, But also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of those being crushed. Isaiah 57:15

R.H.

To the Dudley family and friends: Please accept my sincere condolences. May you find comfort in the wonderful hope God gives us for the near future. He promises a time when he will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more (Revelation 21:3,4).

I want to offer my condolences to the Dudley family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a love one in death. Even Jesus, when on earth gave way to tears from the loss of a loved one (John 11:33,35,38). Ultimately Our Almighty Father of tender mercies knows your pain. He never purposed his human family to have health issues, grow old, and die, but to live in perfect health and a perfect life forever. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy and promised to remove sickness, old age, and death__ 1 Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing"; Isaiah 33:24 And no resident will say: "I am sick"; Isaiah 35:5,6; Job 33:24,25 “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.” Finally, He promised to undo the effect of death by bringing our love ones in the memorial tombs back to life__ Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live...Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! ...the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” I hope these words give you all comfort.
