I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Dula Buck. I did not know her personally, but I am sure that she was dearly loved and will certainly be missed. Losing someone you love in death is often a very difficult experience to go through for many, but please know that you are not alone in this time. Not only do you have your family and friends, but God also takes notice of your sadness and really cares about you personally. (1 Peter 5:7) God has promised that soon, no one will lose someone they love in death ever again. (Revelation 21:4) We can also look forward to another of God's promises: that of being able to enjoy life again with our loved ones who have died. (John 5:28, 29) What a wonderful prospect! We can have real confidence in these promises, because it is impossible for God to lie. (Titus 1:2) I hope that these thoughts will provide some comfort in this difficult time.
To all the family,
My deepest condolences to you during this time. I will never forget the last time I saw Dula Mae in 2004. She was a strong woman and will be missed greatly by all who knew her.
Peace, Linda Tillery (friend of Melba's)
