I am so sorry to see that your loved one has passed. I wanted to share some encouraging thoughts with you from God’s word the Bible. We know that death is not natural. God created us to live forever, that is why we suffer when our loved one passes away. But Acts 24:15 says that “ there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous “. What a wonderful hope! To learn more about God’s promises for the future go to jw.org. You can also email me directly .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

The laughs, the fights, the friendship that never stopped unless one of us prideful fools wasn't speaking for a minute. I will miss your voice, your laugh and your soul that you gave to all. But what I'll miss the most is not being able to see you, hug you or tell you how much I loved you. As always, Go Green! Love you sis
