Please accept my condolences. The death of a loved one is the most difficult thing we deal with. I wanted to take this time to express my condolences to you for your loss. May you find comfort from Jehovah God’s word the Bible. (Psalms 83:18) God’s word the Bible promises: “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” (1Corinthians 15:26) Death will be removed from all the earth. Tears of sorrow will vanish. No one will die from natural causes or weep. Jehovah God also promises: “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Acts 24:15) Jehovah God assures us that our dear dead loved ones will receive a resurrection to a restored beautiful paradise earth. (Isaiah 35:5,6) You can have the hope of being reunited with your dear dead loved ones here on earth. These are promises that will soon be a reality. (Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 55:11) May you find comfort from these promises. And may Jehovah God of all comfort be with you. (2Corinthians 1:3,4)

My Father was William Jones Lord his father was also Cecil Lord. Dad was born in Jacksonville 1924 to Cecil Lord and Mary Foster. They divorced when my father was a toddler. Dad is deceased now but the resemblance is remarkable. At the time of this marriage my Grandfather Foster was the Justice of Peace in Jacksonville.
My great grandfather Foster and his wife raised my father as their child and thought Mary Foster was his sister. It is funny how life has a way of finding us all.
