Dear Andie and family…My deepest condolences to all of you during this difficult time. My you find comfort in the memories you will share. Love, Jennifer & Jim Ramsay
I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family. Losing a wonderful person like Anne is no doubt very difficult. The Bible repeatedly speaks of a time in the future when those in the grave will be brought back to life here on earth. Describing what conditions on earth will then be like, the Bible states that God “will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry be anymore.”-Revelation 21:3,4
Andrea, I am so very sorry for your loss.
To the Gamberdella Family. I am truly sorry for you loss and nothing can prepare us for losing a love one. I hope you can find some comfort in this scripture in the days and years ahead. At John 5:28, 29, Jesus said: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” This means that all the dead in Sheol, our loved ones included, will come back
