Life is fragile and so precious especially when we lose a loved one in death. May your family have comfort in knowing that those sleeping in death are not suffering. The Bibles wonderful hope found at Isaiah 25:8 tell us He will swallow up death forever, and the sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. May God’s promise comfort and strengthen you during this time.

I worked at the Millwork for a number of years with Kathleen, and attended the same prayer group for some years also. I always found her pleasant, kind and caring. Blessings on the family and I am blessed to have known her.
