Condolences to our family. May God's will be us all in the name of Jesus the Christ, AMEN
To the dear family and friends of Sister McGhee,
My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. Losing a loved one is never easy, yet we are so grateful that Jehovah has given us a sure promise of comfort and hope. Psalm 34:18 assures us that "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit." What a loving reminder that our God is near to you right now, ready to sustain you through your grief.
Though death is painful, we can look forward to the time when Jehovah, through his Son, will undo it completely. Jesus promised at John 5:28, 29 that "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Imagine the joy when Sister McGhee awakens to a world free of sickness and sorrow, surrounded by those who love her, in the paradise Jehovah has promised (Isaiah 65:21-23).
Until that day, may Jehovah's spirit provide you with strength and may the loving support of your brothers and sisters remind you that you are never alone. Please be assured of my prayers and warm Christian love as you look forward with confidence to the time when "death will be no more" (Revelation 21:4).
With deepest sympathy and hope,
Kevin Guillory, Jr.
My heart felt condolences to Chuck, NaNa, Rail, Keith and Tomika. 2 Cor 3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God. I love you all!
