I’m so sorry for your loss of Margaret. May you have the same comfort that Jesus gave to one who lost a loved one at John 11:11-14. Here Jesus likened death to sleep where one will awaken in the same manner like Lazarus. He wants us to be able to see and enjoy the company of our loved ones again in a happy, healthy condition (Isaiah 33:28) for countless generations of time. He promises a time very soon where no family will ever have to mourn the death of a loved ever again, Revelation 21:4. May God himself grant you great peace and comfort now during this grievous time.
I am offering sincere sympathy to all of Aunt Marge's family. "Aunt Marge" was a wonderful person. She was very quiet, but in this quiet she was strong, sincere, friendly, and a truly genuine person. I hope she is now happy with the rest of the "Holman" clan, and that Uncle Eddie is with her. Now, she is the "Aunt Marge" we all knew, and she can enjoy her new life!!!!!
