I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. As a Christian, I know we need comfort from the Scriptures. Below are some that I personally find very consoling and I hope you do to.

"Blessed be . . . the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation."—2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.

"You are opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing."—Psalm 145:16.

"He [God] has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead."—Acts 17:31.

"I—I myself am the One that is comforting you people."—Isaiah 51:12.

"Like a man whom his own mother keeps comforting, so I myself shall keep comforting you people."—Isaiah 66:13.

"This is my comfort in my affliction, for your own saying has preserved me alive. I have remembered your judicial decisions from time indefinite, O Jehovah, and I find comfort for myself. May your loving-kindness serve, please, to comfort me, according to your saying to your servant."—Psalm 119:50, 52, 76.

"The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life."—John 5:28, 29.

Jimmy & Judy Tilley, I love you both with all of my heart & i loved your precious daughter, Candy (my cousin) from the time i first met her. She was special. Even back then i knew that. I saw a happy out going-sandy blonde haired girl that loved her parents deeply. What impressed me was that she also saw you as friends. I know you felt that way too & the pain & loss you feel is Soul Breaking! We ask why, but we can never find an answer. Just be comforted in knowing, your precious Candy is in heaven now-with Jesus Christ our Lord & someday we will know why & be reunited with those we hold so preicous! Here are some passages to read & comfort you in the Bible. 1 CORINTHIANS Chapter 15 vs. 50-58... Know-if my love-my tears-my pain-my care- my prayers could end your sorrow- it would be done. I know it is not that easy, but know you have it all! I will keep in touch. Also her husband & son have all of the above. God Bless-Hold & Comfort you now & always!!! I Love You!!! Teresa (Tilley) Derrickson...

If I close my eyes I can still see Candy as the pretty little girl with the blondish brown hair doing all the things little "tomboy" girls do. It makes me smile even in the saddest of times.
