"When a loved one dies its very painful. Jehovah the God of all comfort understands how you are feeling at this time. He has provided a means for us to be reunited with our dead loved ones. This arrangement is called the resurrection. When Jehovah sent his Son Jesus to the earth, to die for us, he opened the way for us to be reunited with our loved ones who have died. The Bible says that God cannot lie. This guarantees that we will see our loved ones who are sleeping in the grave again. Please learn more about the resurrection, a hope made possible through the death of Jesus Christ. May this bring comfort to your family."
In loving memory of
Robert Carr Hale

"Dear Sue and Jane, So sorry to read about the passing of your brother Johnny. I had to read it again to believe it happened so fast. What a blessing your boys, Sue, had already brought him here to settle. That must have been a comfort for him and you to be nearer to family. May God bless you and all of your family. With Deepest Sympathy, Ruth Siebens"
"My thoughts are with the entire Hale Clan at this very sad time. Cousin Johnny was such a great guy. I know it has been a long time since I had last seen him but will always remember him when he stayed with the Glann family while attending Syracuse University. With sincere sympathy to all the Hales.
