In leaving a message of condolence, I would love to share the scripture at Revelations 21: 4 with the family and with her granddaughter, Jaleah, who's the classmate of my son, Amari Dawson. I wanted to briefly share a comforting thought that I hope will give you comfort. According to the scripture, we will never have to suffer anymore or mourn our dear loved ones again, because Jehovah God is going to do away with all wickedness and negativity that causes us to suffer in this life today. Soon we will live and never have to worry about anything. I pray that you and the family will find this very comforting.
Thank you,
Tiffany L. Dawson
