My deepest condolences to the family and friends. God comfort us and give us the courage to bear our pain. He does so mainly through his Word, the Bible, and through the gift of prayer. Paul tells us that God lovingly gives us His Word, so that through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope. Additionally, through heartfelt prayers, we can come to experience the peace of God that excels all thought. Roman 15:4; Phil 4:7. Visit JW.org.

John 5:28-29: Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. Jesus Christ resurrected many people in bible times, and he promise to do it again.

To the family: Words cannot express how sad I was to hear of Erma's passing. I have fond memories of playing with her at Aunt Ida's house.

When our loved ones pass we appreciate even more the Bible's promise of a future life where sickness and death will be things of the past (Revelation 21:3,4).

Thinking of you in these difficult times.

Your cousin, Susan Dowdy Medlin

God will sustain you with his "right hand of righteousness" during this difficult time and through each passing day. Isaiah 41:10 says: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness". Isaiah 41:13; I "am grasping your right hand, the One (God) saying to You,..'I will help you'". Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you! (Psalm 36:7; 1 Peter 5:7)

I sure will miss my dear cousin. We would sit on my moms porch in the summer and fall and drink coffee. I sure am going to miss the talks we would have together. I remember the last time I saw my cousin she was smiling and she had this glow on her and I am glad I told her that day just how "pretty" she looked to me. I'm so glad I had a chance to have Erma in my life. She was a sweet person and she always had something good to say to me every time she would see me. We had a special bond and I will never forget Erma as long as I live.
RIP Erma and " I will always Love You"

Family - So sorry to hear of Erma's death. I know this is a difficult time for you. Erma use to visit her grandmother who lived next door to us growing up. It's hard to believe she is gone and I am sure this is a huge adjustment for all of us. Just remember that Almight God Is here for you. He hears our prayers and comforts us during times of loss. He promises a very positive future for us, a resurrection where we can be reunited with our loved ones. (John 5:28,29). We will visit home soon and visit the family.

Warmest regards,
Your cousin
-PDH-

Esha, We want to send our deepest sympathy to you and your entire family. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one.
“May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm.”—2 Thess. 2:16, 17.
May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God's kingdom.

My heartfelt condolences to my extended family. Sickness and death are truly our enemies. The Bible assures us that there is a real hope of being reunited with our loved ones again. John 5:28, 29. May you look to the future when the resurrection hope will be realized. Acts 24:15.

Sorry to hear about the death of your dear love one. The one thing that can help us too get through this difficult time is the Bible. It gives us a wonderful hope.(Acts 24:15). It tell you that you can see your dear love one another.(John 11:25).We can believe this because GOD cannot Lie.(Titus 1:2.)
Sincerely,
