Tributes
"When the enemy death strikes your grief can be great. It's never the right time to say goodbye to a loved one. Death too to many seems to be a part of life. It's during times such as these that we can find comfort in the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9, 10 ~ "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth". Only God's (Psalms 83:18) Kingdom can bring peace, happiness, perfect health, and everlasting life.

"So sorry to hear of Margaret's passing, may memories of time spent with her bring you consolation as well as the God off all Comfort (2 Cor. 1:3). I hope the promise of resurrection as says Acts 24:15 that we can be sure will happen ... also brings you comfort. "
