My sincere sympathy go out to you at this sad time! I can only imagine what you are going through, losing someone so precious so soon. Please be assured that it is because of the sin of Adam and Eve, not God, that we get sick and die (Romans 5:12). Our Loving Creator has arranged through his Son, Jesus, to restore (resurrect) to life "all those in the memorial tombs." (John 5:28) May you be strengthened and comforted by this heartwarming promise from God's Word, the Bible.

John, Susie and I join you in both rejoicing and the temporary sadness at Aunt Emogenes home going. She is having a wonderful time at the feet of her Lord, and the reunion of family and friends. We will be making a contribution to her church in her honor. Aunt Emogene lived well, loved well, and left a well full of memories for us to drink from.
With love and respect,
John, Joyce and Susie
