Judy Ann, Jeanie and other family memebers: Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother, grandmother, loved one. Having been through the loss of my mother, I can truly empathize with you. I wish I could take away the pain for you but that is not in my power. Remember the happy times with her and always keep her in your heart.

While reading in the news paper, I came across the name of Nannie, your dear loved one.
I understand the pain that this time can cause, so I wanted to take this time to express my condolence to you for the loss of your loved one. I know that a time like this is never easy to deal with. If fact it causes only grief. That's why the scriptures at (1 Corth. 15:26)--Calls death an " Enemy" to mankind because it takes our loved ones away from us. However I wanted to share a thought with you that comforted me for I also just loss a family member in death. The man Job in ( Job 14:14) asks "If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?". Happily Jesus answers in ( John 5:28,29)-" Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life." Imagine the joy of seeing our loved ones being back to life and right here on earth.--( Ps.37:29)-“The righteous themselves will posses the earth. And they will reside forever upon it”. For Jesus in ( John 5:28) was relaying a promise from his heavenly Father-(Jehovah-(Ps.83:18) who at (Titus 1:2) says is a "God who can not lie." Well I hope that you will be able to draw some comfort from these scriptural thoughts as I did. Now I will end by saying, may you find peace in the bible's promises and in the treasured memories of your dear loved one.
