So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" ( 3) Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, (4 ) who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we get from God.

So sorry to hear of Nena's death. She was a great help to me during the last years of my grandparents lives, Morris and Connie James. I could call her and she would visit with my mamaw for 15 minutes or so and brighten her day, giving her a little moment of connection to a friend, a church, a place that had been their home for over 60 years. May your family have comfort and peace in knowing that, as my grandparents, she will be rewarded for a life well lived, Well done, good and faithful servant.

We wanted to express our sympathy to you and your family this verse was encouraging during our time of loss. "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) Jesus referred to himself to as "the resurrection and the life" at John 11:25. We pray that in the days to come you will be strengthened.
