Mom I will miss you like crazy, my life will not be the same I feel empty, but you are in a better place where there is no pain or hurt, thank you for the memories and I’m looking forward the day we meet again, please watch over us 🙏 I love you mama…RIP my angel 😘❤️🙏
To the family, please accept our deepest condolences for your dear loved one. The bible assures us that Jehovah God is aware of our pain and he is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). It also gives us the promise that there will be a resurrection and that God will bring an end to death once and for all (John 5:28,29; Revelation 21:4). From that point on we will never have to feel the pangs of death again. We pray these words and scriptures are able to bring you some comfort.
