god bless, ya'll. thought of her often from the high school drill team. just knew she'd go far and also, had a slight young crush. lol. hugs!--signed-little saxophone player bulldog. peace and take care, please.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’d like to share some real hope with you. In Psalms 146:4 tells the condition of the dead. “His breath goeth forth, he returneth to the earth and that very day his thoughts perish.” In John 6:40 and Acts 24:15 the bible promises a resurrection of our loved ones back to earth. When Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead, it was to earth. That was a foregleam of the future. In Psalms 37:11+29 says man will live forever on the earth in peace. That was God’s original purpose, for man to live forever in the garden of eden. God’s purpose hasn’t changed. In Isaiah 45:18 says God created the earth to be inhabited. That’s why he gave his so. To die for us, John 3:16, so we could have everlasting life on earth. In Revelation 21:4 says there’ll be no more pain or death. Since there’s no pain or death in heaven, those are future conditions here on earth as God had intended. JW.org

Dear John and Mary, Extending heartfelt sympathy to you at the loss of Michelle. I live in FairfaxCounty,Virginia but still subscribe to the Okmulgee Newspaper. May God keep and comfort you today and always.

Blessings, Sharon Redd GREGG Former Student and Educator Colleague
