"I am so sorry for your loss. I understand the loss of a loved one is hard. When I lost my beloved mother, I found God's Word the Bible, the stronghold that helped me to cope with such unbearable pain. Please allow me to share with you some scriptures that come to my mind now, the first one is found in John 5:28, 29 where Jehovah promises to resurrect those who have died. Another one is the assurance stated on Psalm 37:11 that says that the meek will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace and verse 29 says that the righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it. And just a little longer and death will be no more (Revelation 21: 3, 4) May Jehovah provide you with the endurance to cope with your loss and that you find the Bible as God's message to us and that it is alive and exerts power (Hebrews 4:12).

"Bobby was our photographer for over 17 years on all of our projects. It was always fun to finish a project when all the pressure was over and have him show up and take great pictures and share stories and a few of his jokes! It is comforting to know how happy he was after marrying you Doris, he was always telling us about how great life was with you. RIP Bobby, we will miss you!"

"Bobby McGee had was a generous and kind person. He took photos at my 30th birthday and my company anniversary party without me even asking. But what I will always remember about Bobby is that he always had an inner smile and it was contagious. I'm so sorry for the family for such a terrible loss and he will always be remembered in our hearts."

"I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she will be deeply missed by family and lifelong friends. May words of encouragement uplift your spirits at this difficult time. John 5:28-29 speaks of a time when our loved ones that have passed will "hear Jesus voice and come out" to be with us again. We'll be able to hold them again, and this time in the perfect life on paradise earth God always intended for humans. (Psalm 37:9-11) I hope this can bring a measure of comfort and peace to you during the difficult days ahead. May you lean on family, friends and God. Remember the good memories you had. You have my deepest condolences. "
