So sorry to hear of Mrs Holland passing. I don’t know if she is related to Leonard Holland who I know quite well. May you find comfort for your loss from the God of all Comfort. His promises are very comforting. John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:3,4
Sincere condolances
We want to share our family condolences.
When we lose our love one , it’s the most difficult time
In our life. However there is loving comfort in Psalms 55:22
Throw your burden on God and he will sustain you. No matter what you are facing God is there to help you though it.
To the family of Helen, you have my condolences in your loss. How is it that the Methuselah tree lives for 4,849 years when humans only live 70 or 80 years? (Psalm 90:10) God’s original purpose was for humans to live forever! (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 37:29) Soon his promise of the resurrection will come true and his purpose for humans to live forever.
Geneva Owensby-Doyle so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers, condolences and hugs to you and your family.
