Offering sincere condolences. I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. The Bible gives us a sure hope that very soon we will have the opportunity to see them again by means of the resurrection (Acts 24:15) May your family find comfort in God's promise of an earthly paradise (Psalm 37:29) where there will be no more pain, sickness, or sorrow due to death (Rev. 21:4,5)

To the Robinson Family I would like to express my condolences to the entire family. We are sorry to hear about the passing of Cora Goodwin Robinson. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. There is no doubt that Cora touched the lives of so many family members and friends. She had traits or good qualities that drew others to her. Yes you have fond memories of those many acts of kindness that she displayed on a daily basis. Just as we saw those kind acts, God our Creator has also taken note of them. Just as we hold Cora in our memories for what she did; God has also. God rewards people of this nature. Really this what the scriptures tell us. In fact God tells us from the bible that He would soon make a call to those in the grave to come out; yes to stand up in life again. (John 5:28-29) From this one scripture alone, God is giving us His personal guarantee that Cora and billions of others will live again. No these are not my words, but God words to all grieving families of the earth. Reading this text provides comfort for everyone. In fact reading the nine accounts that speaks about the resurrection hope helps us to build strong faith in this wonderful blessing from God. Here is just one such example recorded at Acts 9:36-42. Why not allow the text to provide all with true comfort from God. We understand for now that your eyes will shed many tear. This is proper; you have lost someone special in death. Soon however those tears of sadness will turn into tears of joy and laughter because of the resurrection to life taking place earth wide. Now is the time to keep this promise of God near to your heart. Learn all that you can about the resurrection hope, and do the things necessary to be there when Cora life is restored. Remember that when God makes a promise it becomes a reality. For it is impossible for God to lie.(Titus 1:2)

I would like to offer my condolences to the Goodwin-Robinson families. 90 years is quite an accomplishment according to the Bible (Psalm 90:10) and I know Cora has left you with many precious memories and will be greatly missed. Hopefully this scripture will give you comfort because Jehovah God (Psalm 83:18) is promising us he will do away with man's worst enemy, death. This is found for us at Rev. 21: 4; '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.' For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matthew 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. John 6: 40 tells us: 'For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day.' This is a wonderful promise made to us by our heavenly father and I pray it brings you comfort and hope. Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Again, I offer my sincere condolences to the family.
