Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My sincere condolences to the family at this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. But God has promised at Rev 21:3, 4 and Acts 24:15 that we have a great future in store if we just rely on him.

Lynn, so sad to hear that we lost your precious mom. I will always be thankful to herQ for her service to St. Anne. One of her favorite topics was Ashlyn when we would talk about her and how much she was like you. We called her "mini me". I love you and your sweet family and will keep all of you in my prayers.

Cathy Wilkins

Dear Larry and Family, I will always remember Edna’s guiding ways in the halls of Hardaway High School and her beautiful voice as she led the choir at church. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Your brother Knight in Christ, Lou Boehmer.

Lou Boehmer

I want to offer my condolences to the Hagan 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.

Psalms 46:1-3 assures us that God can be a comfort and a strength to us especially at a difficult time like this.I pray that He will comfort and sustain you at this time. Psalms 55:22

Martha

Dear Larry and Family, Heaven has truly been blessed with the arrival of EDNA this week. A more gracious, kind, loving lady I have never known. She was such an asset to MREA, and we all loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Keep all of your memories close. God Bless. Barbara Kimbro
