I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort in the memories you shared as a family and in the Bible's promise: “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more.”—Revelation 21:4.

I was so sorry to hear of Gertis’s passing. It was only last year that we reconnected on Facebook. I have fond memories of Gertis attempting to teach me how to take care of my hair while at Pine Forge. I had never been away from home before and all of this was new to me. I appreciated her wisdom. My condolences to her family.

Iris,
My prayers are with you. I don't think I have any words that can really comfort you other than to let you know I'm praying for you. You have sustained a great loss and only time can heal the wound. Having just lost a loved one I can say I understand your pain. Jesus is coming soon and all of this pain and sorrow will be over.
Be encouraged. I love you.
