To the Gardner Family We take this time to express my personal condolences to the family of Mary J Gardner. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family, and the friends of the family. We understand that these are indeed difficult times for all. We must remember that God will be there for us with strong support. The scriptures tell us that God is a God who provides tender mercy and comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) During this time period God takes the time to reveal this wonderful promise that will extend wonderful blessings to those who have died. This promise is recorded at John 5:28-29. In the verses God states that He would cause a calling to go forth to those in the grave to stand up in life again. Just imagine that on a date set by God persons like Mary and many others will stand up in life again. For many this promised arrangement of living again may seem impossible. How we must remember that God is the source of life for all living things. (Psalm 36:9) Even if a person dies, God has the power to make that person whole again. Then to help all to develop strong faith in this future blessing, God has taken the time to preserve nine accounts in the Bible that speaks about this grand arrangement soon to take place earth wide. Here is just one such example that is recorded at Acts 9:36-42. I hope that the family and friends will get a chance to see how these verses apply to Mary, and a great host of others who await their personal awakening from their deep sleep of death. In closing we encourage all to please keep this promise of God near your hearts at all times. Remember that when God makes a promise, it becomes reality. For it is impossible for God to lie. (Titus 1:2)

We pray that the Holy Spirit 🕊 will comfort the hearts and minds of the Gardner and Jenkins families during your time of bereavement. In His service, Your Q5Burkville Neighbors
