I never met her in person but I spoke to her every year when I would schedule an annual meeting for work. She was always so sweet and helpful. She will be greatly missed. Prayers of comfort for the family and friends
John Paul prayers for you and your family God give this family peace and understanding and ease the pain.
John Paul and Jo Dee, I can only offer these words of comfort and pray they will help you during this time.
2 Cor. 5:8 “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
When They took their last breath down here, they were immediately in the presence of our Lord.
For that, we should be truly
thankful.
While we are experiencing natural sorrow for our loss, we thank you for your supernatural comfort and grace.
In the face of death, we thank you for your gift of eternal life.
In this time of separation, we thank you for your promise of an eternal reunion that we eagerly anticipate.
As humans, we look at death as so final. Even though we will miss our loved one, can you imagine the awesome reunion they are now having with their love ones that are already there?
They have began what we all strive for. They will now spend eternity with our Heavenly Father. We must remember that we will see them again in a better place. What an awesome day that will be.
Goodbye doesn’t have to mean for ever ……it just means, “see ya later”.
I pray these words will bring you comfort.
