I have known Deborah as my dental hygienist through SmileMakers for many years. Whenever I saw her she was ready with a smile and an update on the family she loved. I will miss her laugh, her smile, and her thoroughness. May you all find peace and comfort during this time.

To the Hurst Family I would like to take this time to express my personal condolences to the family of Deborah Hurst. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends during this hour of great sadness. As difficult as this time may seem to be, God assures all grieving hearts that things will indeed get better for all those who are grieving at heart over the passing of their love one or friend. Some may ponder what is the basis for this statement. It is because the God of tender mercy and comfort assures us regarding the future hope for Debora, and others who have fallen asleep in death.2 Corinthians 1:3-4) So for a brief moment, please listen closely as God reveals this wonderful promise. Directing your attention to the scriptures, this is what God is telling the Hurst family. He tells us that soon He will cause a call to be directed to those in the grave, and that our departed love ones would hear His voice and stand up in life again.(John 5:28-29) Oh what powerful words these truly are. From this text, God is giving us His personal guarantee that Debora and a host of others will surely have their lives restored back to them. Indeed what a grand day this will prove to be. Can you envision this arrangement taking place? Can you hear the sound of joy and laughter filling the whole earth? What a wonderful time period this will be. We understand that many may find this arrangement too hard to believe in. So to help all develop strong faith in future promise from God, our Creator has preserved nine accounts that speaks about this blessing that is near at hand. Here is just one such example that is recorded at Acts 9:36-42. I hope that all will get a chance to see how the verses apply to their love ones. So please keep this promise near your hearts at all times. Remember that when God makes a promise, it becomes reality. For God does not lie.(Titus 1:2)
