"Dear Eubank Family, I am sorry to hear of the death of your loved one. I hope this letter find you doing as well as can be expected! Have you ever wondered, is there a remedy for death? If so, what hope is there for the dead? Will we ever see our loved ones again? We can becasue the Bible makes this promise: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up." And the Bible also says: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth and they will reside forever upon it."--Isaiah 26:19; Psalm 37:29. We can have real confidence in such promises, because Almighty God has not only the power but also the desire to resurrect persons whom he chooses. Jesus Christ himself said: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." --Luke 20:37, 38. What a time that will be to see our dead loved ones come back to life by means of a resurrection of the dead right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions! I hope this letter has helped you some to cope with your lose. Christian Love C. Marks,Sr"

"Teri & family
We were saddened to hear the news of your mom. Know that she is no longer suffering. We know she was a remarkable woman just in the few times we got to visit with her during our annual volleyball stop at their home. She was proud of all of you and I know she enjoyed having all the girls over for those visits. We are thinking of you all during this time.
Always,
Ben, Terri & Elise"
