My deepest condolences to the family ...
I'll never forget that sweet smile she always shared, and the talks we had about
how much she loved her church and her Sunday School class, but most of I'll always remember her faithful service to the Lord ...... her presence will make Heaven a little sweeter!
But, knowning Mrs. Jean , she will probably take charge of tending to the gate !! We'll see her there !! She knew how to get things done !
But, most of all precious Family remember .... "absent from the body is present with the Lord"!

Mrs. Sims, I'm sorry that I was unable to call you when Mother passed. I had your phone number written on a piece of paper, but lost it while at the Hospice house. Thanks for your phone calls checking on her. You were a true friend and she spoke highly of you often.

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 promises at John 5:28, 29 and I pray that you will as well.

To The Killingsworth Family: Please accept my sincere condolence on your loss. The Bible can bring you much hope and comfort at a time like this, because Almighty God promises that soon He will end death, sickness and sorrow (Revelation 21:3,4). Also, our loving Heavenly Father has made arrangements through His Son, Christ Jesus, to bring back to life "all those in the memorial tombs" (John 5:28,29). May you find the strength to hold on by meditating on these beautiful promises from Jehovah God.
