I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. She loved you all so much and spoke of you all often. May all the happy memories you have of her bring you joy each time you think of her.
Our most heartfelt condolences to the families of Loretta. She always had a smile and wonderful thoughts for all.
With all our love,
Don, Nancy Jo and Nancy Anne
My deepest sympathies. I know how loved Loretta was and still is to all of you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart goes out to the family! Longevity is certainly a blessing, but death at any age is too soon. Death is unnatural and not a part of God’s original purpose, so for good reason the Bible calls death an enemy- one that God through Jesus Christ will soon eliminate (1 Corinthians 15:26). May this hope bring the family comfort during this difficult time. Click on the link for more comforting thoughts: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/dead-live-again-tract/
