I’m so sorry to read of the loss of your loved one. During this difficult time please take note of the promise Jehovah has left for our comfort at Isaiah 25:8. There Jehovah makes a wonderful promise that he will swallow up death and wipe the tears from our eyes; such a loving promise is it not? Please allow those words to bring you comfort during such a difficult time.

November 23, 2018 at 2:48 amWhat a might god we serve. I was blessed to have been in Deborah’s life. She was an amazing, loving, intelligent, individual who loved her family dearly. Although, biologically she was my aunt she was more of a mother. It was a honor and a blessing to have been in her presence. If she there is a such thing called Angels on earth then Deborah was indeed just that. When speaking about a woman of faith that would indeed be her. We may miss her here on earth but I know in my father’s house there are many mansions.
