I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. The Bible offers us a hope of seeing our loved ones again at John 5:28,29. It also promises a time when death and pain will be done away with at Revelation 21:4. I hope these help you find comfort.

My sincere condolences to the family during this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. I have found comfort in the scriptural promise at Rev. 21:3, 4 and I pray you will as well.

Aunt Edith I will greatly miss you, I have so many wonderful memories of spending time with you. Enjoying summer days picking figs in your back yard, who would imagine a kid would love figs. The big family gatherings at Pritchett's for all you can eat catfish. I just don't know what to say other than I really love you and will miss you so much. в™Ўhttps://youtu.be/vDN5rG3wLa4
