Dear Holly-&-Carl, Sarah, and Family and Friends:
I was saddened to learn of the death of Helen on April 16, 2016. It is sad to lose a loved one in death at any age, but prayerfully at 94 years of age, it can be said of Helen what was said of Isaac at Genesis 25:39 "she died old and satisfied with days." Even though I did not know Helen personally, please accept my deepest sympathy at your loss.
I would like to share with you some verses from the Bible that bring comfort, thoughts that others have shared with me when I lost loved ones.
First, it was never our Creator's purpose that anyone should die, ever! When He put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they had the prospect of endless life in ageless bodies, in perfect health, on a perfect Earth (Genesis 1:28). Adam and Eve could have passed that life on to us, but they sinned and lost everything for themselves ... and us. (Romans 5:12)
Next, it comforted me and softened my feelings toward Jehovah God to learn that it is Satan who causes aging, sicknesses like cancer, and death--not God (Hebrews 2:14). Long before He created humans, the Creator already had all the angels He wanted in heaven (Job 38:7).
Finally, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are our guarantees that this Earth will yet be a peaceful, global paradise and that Helen (and countless millions of others, including Milan, Scott, Andrew-&-Mary, and John) will be resurrected to enjoy it! Remember Jesus' words at John 5:28-29a and John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life," and "all those in the memorial tombs ... will be resurrected." Until then Helen, Rest In Peace.
May you have comfort and peace from these promises until the day when you can be reunited with a young and healthy Helen. And, ... if you would ever like to know more about when and how our Creator Jehovah will bring about these wonderful blessings (or why He has allowed sickness, suffering and death since Adam and Eve sinned so long ago), please feel free to contact me at the address below.
With deepest sympathy and genuine respect,
Harolyne Grant

Holly,
I am very sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. Your Mom was so much a part of our years growing up, I remember her helping me pick material for items I would sew with my Mom. I know you have so many fond, wonderful and loving memories that will forever bring a smile to your face and sweet love in your heart. Funny, I lost my Mom in November of 2015, she was 96. Take care of yourself. My best God wishes for you and your husband. Elizabeth

Holly,
When I got back on Wednesday and you weren't here, I was afraid it was about your Mom. I've been thinking of you ever since and whether it's much help, please know that we all are keeping you in our thoughts and sending messages of sympathy, even if they are only telepathic.
May you find peace.
Sherril

I will miss my dear friend and best room mate. The last time I saw her, she and I had a kitchen picnic at her home. This was in Sept or Oct. last year. RIP dear friend. I love you. Gio
