U WILL BE MISSED AUNT DOROTHY
Weisenfels family and friends. I`m sorry for your loss. Its so hard to say goodbye to someone you love. Death was never in God`s plans. The bible talks about how soon death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4) The bible also talks about how there will be a time when we will be able to see our dead loved ones again, which is found at John 5:28, 29. I hope this bring you both hope and encouragement.
Very sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.

I know your hearts are breaking and there will never be another one like your mom in your life. She is tribute to each of you children on how to live your lives. Dorothy & Gilbert were very well thought of by my parents 9Guyth & Ruth Rogers). Just know she will always be watching after each one of you. May God bless your family at this time.

I am very sorry that you have lost your dear loved in death. The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness we feel when we loose someone close to us can seem unbearable. At such times, we need to go to God's word for comfort. Please read 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 as these verses will assure your heart of God's love for you. Also prayerfully read Acts 24:15 and notice the promised held out to those that have fallen asleep in death.
