May the family find comfort in loving memories, and in knowing that God is “close to those that are broken at heart; and he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) With deepest sympathy.
I am sorry to read of your loss. Many have lost loved and want to see them again. The Bible actually has an comforting scripture found at Acts 24:15, which says,”And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” There is a hope that you can see your loved one again. May this be of some comfort during this time.
Carolyn,
I am so sorry to hear of your families loss. I do not remember your brother, but I certainly remember Tookie. She was a very special lady. Would love to catch up on our long ago friendship. Call me sometime. Wayne and I are in the phone book. Take care of yourself, and I hope to hear from you soon. Doris (Byrd) Peterson
