My deepest sympathies on your loss. Please know that many are thinking of you during this difficult time. Several readings have brought me comfort during times of grief. Here's one of the most helpful to me. https://www.jw.org/finder?pub=we&wtlocale=E&srcid=share
Brenda, I was so saddened to learn of your dear sister's passing. Although I never had the personal privilege of meeting or knowing her, it is clear that she was highly respected by all who knew her.
You can take solace in the good and lasting work of educating students that Miss Alford did during her lifetime here in the Muscogee County School District.
The Bible teaches us that our Heavenly Father yearns to bring back to life the dead who are preserved in his memory. (Job 14:14, 15) This gives us a wonderful hope, the prospect of living in a paradise on earth and seeing the resurrection of our dead loved ones.
I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family, trusting that remembrance by so many will bring you comfort during this difficult time.
