The hope that Jesus Christ gave at John 5:28-29 shows how he will resurrect those in the memorial tombs by means of God's incoming Kingdom.(Matthew 6:9-10) May this hope from God, who can never lie, be a basis for you to have hope as you mourn the loss of your dear loved one. From; A concerned neighbor.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered 'Come to Me.' With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.' From Chris, Ana and family.

Christopher

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, may it be extended to you now. May His Peace and Strength sustain you in every way. May His Grace keep you. Love you, Anissa
