Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceI want to offer my condolences to the Baskins family and friends. Our Heavenly Father knows the pain one feels from the loss of a love one. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35). Our Creator did not purpose his human family to die but to live and enjoy life forever. This is still his purpose (Psalms 37:29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever along with all pain and suffering __ 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.” He has appointed Jesus to awaken all those in the memorial tombs from asleep in death-__ John 5:28, 29 "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." He will then “satisfy the desire of every living thing” (Psalms 145:16). Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
