Tributes
"Dear family of Ariel, I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. So young, with her whole life ahead. I wish to share comfort from the scriptures. We may wonder why? or if their is anything to look forward to? Jesus well knew the Bible statement:" Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all"[Ecclesiastes 9:11]. He knew that sometimes bad things just happen. The wonderful future resurrection hope is the promise found at John 5:28,29. Revelation 21:3,4 states that death will be no more. and pain will be no more, the former things will have passed away. Our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of his son Jesus, is going to undo the tragedies that touch our lives today. As you read these scriptures in your Bible, may they comfort you. sincerely dianne mullins "
