Hi Diane: Sorry to hear about your Mom. What a wonderful Lady and how She made uncle Wib so happy. Auntie Vera and Aunt Cherry were the last of the family and use to talk regularly Auntie Vera was moved to McCormick Home in November after having internal bleeding and having many periods of passing out. She made up Her own mind which we were happy for. I know She spoke with Aunt Cherry at that time but didn’t talk much after Christmas. Hope they were able to make Her comfortable at Palliative care. Thank you so much for sharing your Mom with our Family we will always have great thoughts of Her and Her smile. Bette Kline
Though I did not know Cherry personally, I wish to express my condolences to you on the loss of your loved one. I too know the pain of death’s sting. Death truly is an enemy. We can find comfort in the words of the Bible at Revelation 21:3, 4: “God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
What hope is there for our dead loved ones? The Bible makes the promise: “Your dead ones will live .. They will rise up” Isaiah 26:19 We can have complete confidence that Jehovah God, who is the giver of life, will bury death forever. What a blessing it will be when we can rightly ask” “Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting”? – 1 Corinthians 5:55 What the Bible says about how God can and will defeat death certainly indicates his loving interest in the human family. It should help us to understand Jehovah’s personality and draw us closer to him.
Respectfully,
Diane
