Our deepest sympathy to the family, Aunt Margaret was loved by all and will be truly missed. She is rejoicing with her family once more in heaven.
I’m so sorry for your loss. There are no words to describe the loss of a loved one, especially a woman as special as Aunt Marge. I apologize for my absence to the services, Kurt will be there for all of us. My condolences. Our prayers are with you all.
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. We have been neighbors for many many years and I am saddened to hear of your loss.
I am truly sorry for your loss. The following are scriptures that have helped me in dealing with the loss of my loved ones. Eccl. 9:5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. Rev. 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. God and His Son, Christ Jesus, have a plan set in place that will reverse the ongoing condition of death that Adam inflicted upon us. This plan will revert everything back to its original purpose, to live on Earth forever, without dying again. In a paradise. This plan will take place in the near future.
