I havnt seen you in such a long time. The last thing I remembered about you was that you always made people laugh & you had a heart of gold. They wasn’t nothing boring about you at all. You always made sure you try to live your life to the fullest. If someone was down, you always made sure that you would perk them right up.You will be missed by so many people and we all will have that special memory with you in our heart forever. You fly high & may you not suffer anymore. My prayers are with the family at this time. I pray that God will give you all the strength to get thru this.
Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and send you my sincere condolences. May you find comfort from God’s word at Psalms 94:19, Revelation 21:3,4 and John 5:28,29. Heartfelt prayers are with you and your family. http://www.jw.org
