Steve,
We are all saddened to hear of your mothers passing. May you remember all the good times with your mother! Blessings to your entire family. Please call me if I can help you as you help people everyday…
Please accept my heartfelt condolences upon learning of the death of your mother. My thoughts immediately flash back to when I had to give up the one who game me life and sacrificed personal pleasures for me. To lose one’s mother, under any circumstances, is certainly a personal tragedy.
Sincerely,

Steve, I am sharing your sorrow in the loss of your dear Mother. May you and your family find comfort in the memories, she has got to be so proud and blessed to have a wonderful family. I found comfort in this verse when my Dad passed away, Romans 8:38-39 “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Keeping you and your family in prayer.

John, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was such a sweet person. I know you have many wonderful memories of her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Pam and David Roberts
My sincere condolences on Jeannette’s passing. She did so many wonderful things for so many people. It is truly a loss. I will miss her.
The loss of a parent is a difficult thing. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
I wanted to extend my belated condolences for your loss.
Unfortunately, we all have loss loved ones in death and have experienced the grief that death causes. What helps us cope with death is knowing the truth about what happens when we die. Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 helps us to appreciate that the “dead are conscious of nothing at all”. Jesus further referred to dead Lazarus as merely “resting”. John 11:11,12 The life we enjoy is like the flame of a candle. When the flame is put out, it does not go anywhere. It is simply gone. In much the same way, the Bible teaches that when a person dies, they simply cease to exist.
I hope these scriptures serve as a comfort to you and your family as they have me. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.
