Hi Paula, Patti, Tammy & Grady:
I was so sorry to hear about your mom passing away on Friday. I just got the news from your Aunt Pickle and Uncle Bones. They are so, so sorry to hear about your mom, their very good friend, and said to tell you that their thoughts and prayers are with you.
Several Bible verses come to mind concerning death:
John 14:1-6: Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms, if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you. And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself that where I am you may be also.
John 11:25-26: I am the resurrection and the life; he who believe in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.
Matthew: 50-53: And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep (death) were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18: But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep (death), that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words.
Romans 8:38-39: For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Cor. 15:51-55: Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?”
Mrs. Lillian was perhaps the most outgoing and positive person I ever met, and I will never, ever forget how she would say my name, Jimmy. I will be able to hear her wonderful voice in my head until the day I die. I miss seeing all of you and think about you often, and wish I could be there, even and especially under these unfortunate circumstances. Please know I will be praying for all of you. God bless you all and I love you very much.

Paula, Patty, Tammy and Grady,
I am sorry to her of your mother's passing. Ispent lots of time with your family, and she meant a lot to me. My favorite trips were to Jekyll Island camping. I loved to hear her laugh. She loved her kids and her grandkids.
She was proud of all of you.
We would be there, but Bob had surgery Thursday.
With love and sympathy to each of you.
Ann & Bob Hartman
