    I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. Recently I lost my dear mother, and found great comfort in the Holy Bible, like at Isaiah 25 verse 8 - "The Sovereign Lord will swallow up death forever, and wipe away the tears from all faces." Also at Revelation 21 verse 4, we find God's promise to remove both pain and death. For more comfort, I turn to the website at: www.jw.org (Search: Comfort)

    Danny & Ada and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Madge's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I still see her in the kitchen at MHS cafeteria, making sure that the slaw was just right, when she and Gene volunteered their time, helping with all of the fish fries that we had to help the MHS Booster Club and the kids. They were both great people.

    God be with you are this difficult time, but we know that she will bewaiting for you there in heaven with your father. And most of all she is once again with your sister, who has gone before. Rejoice and praise our wonderful Savior for our assurance. We will meet again.
