To Val and the family, Reda had the biggest smile anyone could imagine and her bubbly laughter would make my day when I saw her in the store. It remind me of the days all of us had fun together. May God comfort each of you during this difficult time.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of Andrea (Watkins) Allen was a kind and friendly person. She served her church as a Deaconess like me I serve as a Deaconess too at my local church. Andrea will be missed immensely. We extend deep condolences to her family and pray for her family and close friends, too. Former Classmate Doris Hall Bishop, Henrico High School, Richmond, VA.

To The Family, Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor outcry; nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Yes, We can look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away with forever.
