Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo Mrs. Adelle's family, My deepest condolences over your loss. During this difficult time, lean on family and friends for support. Also look to God’s Word, the Bible, for comfort. At Isaiah 41:10, God assures us that He is with us and He will help and He will fortify us. He also promises that one day He will do away with pain, sorrow and even the enemy death. 1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:3,4; John 5:25,26. And as we keep praying for that day to come (Matthew 6:9,10), may God grant you peace that is beyond all understanding. Philippians 4:7
I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Adelle and also share comforting scriptural promise that GOD is a refuge and strength in times of distress.(Psalms 46:1)
My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. May you find comfort in the resurrection hope mentioned at John 5:28, 29. If you stay close to Almighty God in prayer, He will sustain you during your grief and afterward. (Psalm 83:18, Psalm 55:22)
