    Dear Van Ness Family, I am so sorry for your loss and I know this is a very difficult time. Death is not a natural part of life, and something God never intended. In fact, at Revelation 21:3-5, God holds out hope that we will see a time when there is no more death. If you would like to learn more about this promise, please visit http://www.jw.org for more information.

    Hello, its Wanda from the dearness. Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
    I am so sorry I missed the service.
    For personal reasons I could not get to the dearness on my regular visits.

    She will be missed on the floor by my mom’s room.

    Wanda
