Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head:they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. One glimpse of Jesus' dear face and all sorrow will be erased! It will be worth it all when we see Him! Enjoy your brand new Home my dear Sue...

I heard a voice from heaven saying "Write this: now on those who die believing in the Lord are blessed." "Yes," says the Spirit. "Let them rest from their hard work. What they have done goes with them." Revelation 14:13 Sue is resting in the presence of the Lord. She has completed a great work that bore not a title but a towel. She touched the lives of many people at home and around the world thus fulfilling the Great Commission with much love and compassion. Sue, will be immensely missed. She was truly the greatest among us. We celebrate the life and legacy of my darling friend, my sister in Christ, our "Aunt Sue." Eternal Love, Elaine (Mr. & Mrs.Walter P. Pitchford & Family)

I am so sorry for your loss. At a time like this, I found that the Bible provides much comfort and hope.Jesus said at John 5:28,29,"all in the graves will hear his voice and come out"This will be at a time when there is no more sickness and death. Revelations 21:3,4.More informationwebsite:www.jw.org
