    To the family of Lauretha D. Spence. My mother and I wish to express our sincerest condolences to you. At such a time as this it is very encouraging to know that the Bible, God’s written word, can provide the best of comforting words during this unhappy occasion. We’ve found the accounts of the resurrections of the daughter of Jairus at Luke 8:49-55 and Lazarus at John 11:39-45 to be very uplifting. We’ve learned that these accounts as well as other wonderful miracles performed by Christ Jesus served but as a preview of what is soon to take place on a global scale, finally removing the pain and sorrow felt during this difficult time. When you’ve time, please consider reading some of our favorite texts: Isaiah 25:8, 1Corinthians 15:26, Psalm 34:18 and Revelation 21:3, 4. Please be assured that these promises offer a real solid hope and are true because God cannot lie. (Titus 1:2) Until these wonderful promises become the reality they will become from Jehovah God by means of His Son Christ Jesus, we wish family and friends peace and comfort that Jehovah, the God of comfort, will give you. (2Corinthians 1:3, 4) Our most heartfelt regards, Joyce & Stacy Howard.

    Wow! Heaven is so excited
    To see La La arrive home today
    They all have been waiting and waiting
    For her to come home to stay.
    A few times she has been close
    To meeting the heavenly host
    But each time God said ”Not so
    Back to earth you must go!
    Your work is incomplete
    There is more for you to do
    And when you have sung your last song
    That’s when I’ll send for you!”
    So through the years
    La La kept on singing and toiling
    Yes, toiling through the storm and rain,
    She kept watching and patiently waiting,
    Waiting to hear her name!
    And now her big day is here
    Our loss is surely Heaven’s win
    So when the gates swing open
    Go ahead LA LA …GON’ walk on in!
    With Love,
    Another Original by Rev. Sarah
