See Condolences

I am so sorry for your loss.В Donnie was a very kind hearted and caring man.В He will be missed.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear loved one Mr Barber. May your family find the needed comfort at this time because it offers the wonderful hope of seeing him again when all sickness, suffering and death are done away with forever. (Revelations 21:3,4; Isaiah 33:24; Acts 24:15)

I want to offer my condolences to the Family and friends. Hebrews 4:15 says, вЂњ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tested in all respects as we have, but without sin.вЂќ Yes, Jesus endured sufferings when on earth, including the pain of losing a love one (John 11: 33, 35, 38). It has been promised from our God of comfort that sickness, pain, and death will be removed ((Isaiah 33:24; 1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:4,5). An additional promise given is that all our loved ones in the memorial tombs will awaken from asleep in death to enjoy life as our loving Creator purposed (Isaiah 26:19; Psalms 145:16). Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.

To family and friends my deepest sympathies to you for the loss of your love one.В Losing a loved one in death is very painful.В May you find comfort in the Scriptures found at John 5:28,29 and Isaiah 26:19 that promises our loved ones who have died can live again by means of the the Resurrection.
May the God of all comfort and tender mercies sustain you at this difficult time.
2 Corinthians 1:3,4
