Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

After seeing the Tar Heel Traveler show on Bus, I put on my bucket list to shake Bus's hand one day. As 2021 starts today I was reviewing my list. Checking about Bus on line, I saw that he had passed. Lesson for life: never wait on something that is important to you; you may wait too late. To Bus's family I say thank you for allowing this man to be a dedicated asset to UNC and to all who attended there. A Great American he was...

To the family and friends: We're so sorry to hear you are mourning the recent loss of your loved one.  May you find strength  and comfort from the words of Psalms 46:1 which reads: "God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress."

Our loving God is there for us if we ask for his help (1 John 5:14). He didn't intend for us to grow old and die.  He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11).

Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. 

You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.

God will sustain you with his "right hand of righteousness" during this difficult time and through each passing day. Isaiah 41:10 says: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness." Isaiah 41:13; I "am grasping your right hand, the One [God] saying to you,...'I will help you.'" Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you! (Psalm 36:7; Psalm 147:3)

Sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. When I think of losing a loved one as you have, it brings to mind the promise that the Bible holds out at Revelation 21:3,4 where it says that the Grand Creator Jehovah God will wipe away sickness and death forever and reunite us with our loved ones on a clean earth in the near future.(John 5:28,29; Psalms 83:18) Please remember that God cares about what you are going through now. God loves you and will help you get through this difficult time. jw.org---(Website for more encouragement.)

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the promise of Revelation 21:4  And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Condolences to your family at this time.

To Sherry Hubbard and Family. It with sad regrets hearing of the transition of your Father I offer my Prayers, sympathy and condolence to you and your family. God is an ever present help in our time of need. Continue to look to Him for what ever you stand in need of at this time. He will see you through!! With much love

Deacon Anthony Taylor. Wake Chapel Church Raleigh NC
