Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceSo sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of sorrow. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you. James 4:8
So sorry for your loss. Know that God ‘is close to the brokenhearted.’ Please read Psalm 34:18, 19 in the Scriptures.
I want to offer my condolences to the Kimbrough family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a love one in death. Even Jesus, when on earth gave way to tears from the loss of a loved one (John 11:33,35,38). Ultimately Our Almighty Father of tender mercies knows your pain. He never purposed his human family to have health issues, grow old, and die, but to live in perfect health and a perfect life forever. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy and promised to remove sickness, old age, and death__ 1 Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing"; Isaiah 33:24 And no resident will say: "I am sick"; Isaiah 35:5,6; Job 33:24,25 “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.” Finally, He promised to undo the effect of death by bringing our love ones in the memorial tombs back to life__ Isaiah 26:19 "Your dead will live...Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! ...the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” I hope these words give you all comfort.
Deepest sympathy. The Parham Family, South Girard Church of Christ.
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).
Sincere condolences to the entire family. Please know that others cares about your loss. May the sadness y'all are experiencing be comforted by happy memories and Jesus words of encouragement and hope at John 6:40
To the Family: May the God of all comfort continue to strengthen the family as the days, weeks, months and years passes. Be assured that those who are “sleeping in death” God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. John 6:40 and Revelation 21:3-5.
With my sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Sis. Kimbrough's Family, Friendship Baptist Church and Mother. We mourn, but not like those who have no Hope which is in our Jesus Christ.
Dea. Bobby L. Fuse, Jr. Americus, Georgia
