"I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as God's word the Bible. Why do people we love die? Romans 5:12 says: "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away. "

"Grandma Jackie you have been there for me from the day I was born. Whenever life was hard I knew I could always count on you for comfort. You brought us around the world on cruises and vacations and I now pass that along to the kids. Life will NEVER be the same without you. Your home is so empty yet full of your memories. I love you always and forever
