Dear Aunt Arlease, Sharon and the rest of the Roberts / Price Family,

Beau and I were deeply sorry to hear of your loss, it is very painful to loose someone dear in death; but we can be sure that death is temporary for Jehovah has promised to reverse the effects of sin death, and very shortly, as this world is steadily deteriorating. Keep close to Jehovah and his organization for comfort and you are sure to see Patricia real soon. We love you all and we hope to see you soon!

With love Always, Ashley, Beau and Jachin (Cincinnati, OH)

Your family here in Lynchburg is thinking of all of you and sending you our condolences as we look forward to seeing Aunt Pat in perfect health and youth. What a relief when the painful memories and experiences of this system are replaced by happy thoughts of good times in Paradise. We look forward to that day with you.

Dear Betty, Erika, Marica & Family,
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. The comfort that we have is in knowing that death is only temporary and that soon Jehovah will resurrect our loved ones. It can truly be said that Jehovah is the God of all comfort. (2 Cor 1:3,4). Please know that our thoughts & prayers are with you all and that we too are saddened by your loss.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

We are deeply sorry for your loss and pain. It is comforting to know that Patricia is in Jehovah's memory and that He "is not unrighteous so as to forget [her] work and the love [she] showed for his name..." -Heb. 6:10.

Dear Marcia and family,
We were so very sorry to hear of your lose.
When I have been separated from my loved ones, I like to think of it as temporary because of the hope for the future when they will awake in a beautiful Paradise. So she is away for now and we look forward to getting to know her in the near future, in the Paradise.
