Our deepest sympathy during loss of your love one, RIP Mrs. Beatice Johnson.
My heart is filled with sorrow at this sad moment, a sorrow that is deep with regret that I can't be there to support you and great in sympathy for my friend and brother at arms Mother has departed. I hope God grant you peace and fill you heart with loving memories.
I want to offer my condolences to the Johnson family. It is a painful thing to lose a love one in death, regardless of how long they have lived. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died(John 11:35) and it pains our creator, too. Jesus stated at John 5:28, 29 that "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" and he proved that it will happen by resurrecting Lazarus. Our creator promise that all suffering, including death will be taken away forever. Look how it is stated at Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I hope these words from our Creator give all of you comfort.
