My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy over the loss of Rosie. May you find comfort in your loving memories and the warmth of family and friends. A scripture that has uplifted me during times such as this is found at Revelation 21:4. There it describes a time when death and pain will be gone forever after God restores his original purpose for the earth. We will even see our loved ones again who we have lost in death (John 5:28 & 29). It is our hope that these words bring you a measure of comfort during this difficult time as well. Once again, please accept our condolences as you deal with your loss.

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear loved one. I lost my father last year and something that comforts me is that Jesus promised at John 5:28,29 that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-14) I hope that your family will find comfort in this too.

James, so sorry to hear about your mother. I still remember her teaching the 5th grade “Silent Night” in German. God bless you. Sarah Kraft Ernst

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
