Sending up prayers for the Banner family and hoping for peace and comfort for you all.
I am extending my heartfelt sympathy for your recent passing of Mr.Maceo.Those who had passed on are in God’s memory because they are precious in His eyes.Acts 24:15.
To the Banner family. My heart is with you and your family at this time of your loss. There is comfort in knowing God’s promises about the resurrection hope. (Acts 24:15) and (John 5:28,29) In the past God has resurrected humans and He is eager to do it again because He hates death. (Mark 5:41-43) It is not God’s purpose originally for mankind to grow old, get sick and die. To learn more about God’s promises go to JW.ORG. There are online Bible study lessons featured and more.
