My condolences to the family. When loosing a loved one it can be unbearable. That is why God has provided scriptures in the Bible to help ones cope with the loss. In the Bible book of Isaiah 25:8 Jehovah God promises soon to “swallow up death forever.” He also promises to bring back those who have fallen asleep in death (Acts 24:15). In a little while longer this kind of pain will be a thing of the past (Revelations 21:4). May these scriptures bring you comfort in this difficult time (jw.org)
I have no words to help you or explain even how I feel. Denise was such a good friend and I am in despair that I had not kept in touch over the years. She will forever be in my heart and you all will be kept in my thoughts and prayers.
Your old neighbor and friend,
Janet (Higgins) Guarino
Mark and Family Jim & I are so very sorry to hear about Denise’s passing. Will never forget all the Easter Egg Hunts when the kids were little and her beautiful smile. RIP Denise
