To Uncle Ed, Karen, Ricky, and Kim: May God be with you during the coming days as you heal over Kathy's passing. I had not seen her in decades and I wish I could have brought Uncle William to the funeral to say a formal farewell but he has a bad back and could not make the drive. I look forward to seeing her again in heaven, should I be worthy of admittance.

My thoughts are with you and the family and how death robs us of our loved ones. Jehovah God has promised to remove death, sickness, and pain from the earth and reunite us with our loved one on a cleansed earth in the future. (Revelation 21:4; John 5:28,29; John 17:3; Psalms 83:18)  In the meantime you can be sure that God understands how you feel now! The Bible assures us: 'He is healing the brokenhearted ones, And is binding up there painful spots.' Psalms 147:3

I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4;John 5:28,29;Luke 23:43. may GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.

Kathy is asleep. John 11:11. God says she will rise up. Isaiah 26: 19. Jesus promises that 'All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...' Isn't being called by Jesus a comforting promise?
