I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Death was not a part of God’s plan for us and he promises to eliminate all sickness and death. Revelations chapter 21 verses 3 and 4. Very soon we will welcome back to earth our loved ones in the resurrection that Jesus spoke of in John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29. Then eternal life on a paradise earth for us to enjoy, Psalms 37 verse 29. I hope that these scriptures bring your family, hope, encouragement and comfort.
To the Family of Emma Jean Hunter Gainer: Although no words can really help to ease the transition you bear. Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about. May God’s peace, love, comfort give you strength and courage during the hours and days ahead. You and the family are in my thoughts with prayers for such a time as this.
Sorry to hear of your loss. You will be missed.
I extend my deepest sympathies to the family during this time of loss. Know that your Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend was a loving remarkable soul who left her mark with each and every one of you. Though words cannot ease the hurt that you feel find comfort in knowing that her spirit continues to live on through every life that she touched. May God give you comfort and peace. (II Corinthians 1:3,4)
