Love your heart, Mr. Stokes or if you knew him well, Brother Stokes.
I’ve thought about you often since I read your retirement proclamation from the county years ago.
You were a very good man and heaven has gained a very good angel.
Thank you for all of your wisdom.
God speed, Brother Stokes.
My heartfelt condolences to the Stokes families.
While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one,we can look forward to a time when no one will have to die.Isaiah 25:8
To the Stokes 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) To learn more about God’s promises go to JW.ORG. There are online Bible lessons featured and more. Love Your Neighbor Irish J. Richardson.
I’m sending my sincere condolences to the Stokes family and friends. This is one of life’s greatest challenges that we have to face. Jesus said, did, and promised something that gives us comfort and hope. In the Bible at John 11:11-14, Jesus likened death to sleep. This comfort us in two ways: 1) we are assured by those words that our loved ones are not suffering or in pain. 2) If a person is just sleeping, he will wake up! Notice what Jesus does next at John 11:43-44, this is amazing! If you would like to know more details about this, please download a free copy of the brochure Good News from God @ Jw.org and read lesson 6 along with the Bible.
To the Stokes Family
Just as the sun
will set then rise
with each and every dawn,
the souls of those
who lived life well
eternally live on….
Now that the sun
has seemed to set
on one side very dear,
please know a soul
who lived so well
remains forever near.
God Bless/RIP. A heartfelt Thank YOU, Nathaniel for your service in WWII. The USA would NOT be as it is today. I treasure the freedoms for which YOU fought. “YOU ARE ONE OF” The Greatest Generation……. And Semper Fi. Sooldier.
