Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Mr. Ballard and may God be a refuge and strength in your time of sorrow.(Psalms 46:1)

Roland, Darlene, Adrienne marti

We will miss Mr. Ballard tinkering around his yard. He always knew the neighborhood happenings. A very nice man. Our sympathies and prayers go out to Mrs. Ballard, family, and friends during this difficult time.

Ernesto, Bridgett, Jason, Brianna Figueroa

My condolences in the loss of your dear loved one. The pain of grief we feel when our loved ones die can sometimes be unbearable. The comforting words from our heavenly father Jehovah found at Revelation 21:4; And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, and Psalm 147:3; He (God) heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds, will help you to cope with the grief and sadness now and in the days ahead.

R. Sweatman

You have my sincere condolences. “May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7) May the hope of a resurrection right here on earth bring you comfort. (Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29)
