Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo the Family: The loss of a loved one causes so much pain and grief. It is at a time like this we appreciate the love of famlly and friends to comfort us. May your family and friends be there for you in the days, weeks and months ahead of you. Find strength and hope also in the promises found at Daniel 12:2; Acts 9:36-41 and Revelation 21:3-5
My condolences to the Kelly family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35). Our Heavenly Father knows the pain you feel. He did not purpose his human family to get sick and 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.” ”And no resident will say, “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). Notice his promise to awaken all those in the memorial tombs from asleep in death¬__ Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will rise ...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.
From the time we were able to know you Sister Girl, you were like our aunt, not a cousin. Your laughter was the key to keeping us sane. Your knowledge of family kept us together. Your love for family always brought joy. To our cousins who will cherish her memory, stay strong knowing she is around the throne with so many of her family. Watching over us and touching the feet of the Master. We lift you in humble prayer and we love you forever. Cuz. Annette & Family
My sincere condolences to the family at this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved loved one. Please draw comfort from the scriptural promises at Acts 24:15 and Rev 21:3, 4 knowing that God cannot lie (Isaiah 46:10, 11).
To family and friends my deepest sympathies to you for the loss of your love one. Losing a loved one in death is very painful. The Bible promise a wonderful hope for our loved ones who have died. May you find comfort in the Scriptures found at John 5:28,29 and Isaiah 26:19 that promises our loved ones can live again! May the God of all comfort and tender mercies sustain you at this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 Learn more about the resurrection hope at (spam)
