So sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Kitty a long time ago and we were good friends and she was so sweet. She always brings a smile to my face when I think about her. I pray God will fill your empty heart with great memories. Kitty had some sweet sisters also who our whole family loved. We were the West Asheville girls.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. My she rest in peace.
I wanted to send my love and condolences to the Robertson family. I’m very sorry for your loss. Know that God is eager to bring back to life our loved ones whom we have lost in death. God hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has ‘a yearning’ to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He longs to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. God purposes to do this by means of the resurrection hope as He has promised in His Word, the Bible. (John 5:28,29) Please consider these comforting scriptures in your personal copy of the Bible. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Tommy, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We have missed you and fully understand the reason for your absence. Blessings from all of your Geritol Duffer friends!
