Kathleen Elaine Tiernan Markham

I am sorry to read of the passing of your loved one Kathleen. I'm sure She will be missed. Losing a loved one is never easy no matter what the circumstances are . Even Jesus himself cried upon losing his friend Lazarus in death. John 11:35 makes mention how "Jesus gave way to tears." What is comforting about this account is just as Jesus was willing and able to bring Lazarus back to life, he is willing and able to do the same for your loved one, Kathleen . He will accomplish this by means of God's Kingdom in which we pray for in the Lord's Prayer.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Hopefully reflecting on all the good times you've shared together will help ease the pain that you feel. May "the God of all comfort" strengthen you at this time of sadness, and may His promise for the future bring you peace. Hosea 13:14.

Even with the passage of time the loss of a one who is loved does not completely fade,may the good memories place a smile where the tears once were and may you find solace in the words found at Isaiah 61:1,2

Kathleen set an example by her many years of community service.

As I read today's paper, tears started to fall. Reading the newspaper reminds me of Kathie who loved reading them. She and I were friends of 10 years through the YMCA arthritis exercise class. We visited before and after class, and talked of books, family, and travel. She was so pleased to be reaching age 90 -so glad she did. I'll miss her. RIP dear friend.
