Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My deepest condolences and sympathy to the Oates family. My prayers are that you will find God's word some source of encouragement at this very difficult time. Losing someone we love so much is never easy. Do take comfort in knowing that Jehovah promises us at 2 Corinthians 1:3 he is the God (Jehovah) of tender mercies and the God of all comfort. He is closed to all those broken hearted...Psalms 34:18. Keep all the beautiful memories close to heart. North Carolina.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
