"Dear Diane and John; Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family members during this difficult period. We are so happy that we got to meet your Mother. She was such a fun-loving and outgoing person. Now, we will wait to get to know her better when Jehovah Keeps his promise and "swallows up death and wipes away all the tears associated with it". Isaiah 25:8. While we wait the short time until that happens, (Matthew 24) treasure your memories that remind you of all the special times you had with her during her long life. Our Christian Love, Jay and Melanie Grendell"
"Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your beautiful mom. With a broken heart, we mourn along with you. Take comfort in knowing that only in a short time you will welcome her back to life, 'Beautiful and Vital!' Our compassionate father, Jehovah God eagerly anticipates the time, when loving people like your mom will return back to life in the resurrection. The godly man Job was comforted in this thought, because he wrote in Job 14:14,15...'If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait all the days of my compulsory service until my relief comes. You (Jehovah God) will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands. Please accept our sincere sympathy. Timothy and Bertha Moore"
"So Sorry for your loss my condolences to you Diane and family, May Jehovah give you all strength you need ...Love from Jackie Cornelious and Keith "
