Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo the Family: My sympathy goes to all of you during your time of grief. May you all be comforted by the hope expressed in the Bible that one day soon our love ones can live again. Please read God’s promises at John 11:38,39, 43-45 and Acts 24:15, “... there shall be a resurrection of the dead...
I want to offer my condolences to the Long family and friends. Our Almighty Heavenly Father knows the pain you feel from the loss of your love one. He did not purpose his human family to die but to live and enjoy life forever. This is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever along with all pain and suffering__ 1 Corinthians 15:26; 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.” Notice his promise to awaken all those in the memorial tombs from asleep in death¬__ 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." What a delight it will be to see them again! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
To the Family. Sorry for your loss. As the psalmist said at Psalm 121:1, 2 may your help come from ‘The Maker of heaven and earth.’
