Dear Bridges Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Madge sounds like she was a lovely and spirited woman. As a christian family, we find hope in the scriptures and wanted to share one of my favorites from Rev. 21:3,4: 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 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. The former things have passed away.”. I hope you are able to find some comfort during this difficult time. Here's a link to a nice article as well: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-no3-2016-may/when-a-loved-one-dies/. With love, Grace

My deepest sympathy in the passing of dear Madge, I didn't know her personally, but I do know the feelings of helplessness when a loved one dies, especially a mother, she will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her. God promises soon, that death will be done away with (Isaiah 25:8)
