JOYCE WAS MY COUSIN. WE MET AS ADULTS. SINCE THAT TIME, WE'VE SHARED OUR FAMILY HISTORY THROUGH STORIES, PICTURES, SURPRISE AND LAUGHTER AS WE CONTINUED TO DISCOVER THE MANY TIES THAT BOUND US.SHE BAKED YEAST ROLLS FOR ME THAT I WON'T FORGET. I MADE A CHEESECAKE FROM SCRATCH THAT SHE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED. I KNOW BECAUSE SHE ASKED FOR THE RECIPE. THE SPECIAL THING WAS, AT THE END OF EACH CONVERSATION, WE ALWAYS SAID, "I LOVE YOU ". SHE WOULD EVEN CALL MY NAME AND ADD "WE'RE FAMILY, YOU KNOW". THOUGH I WILL MISS HER, I KNOW MY COUSIN WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HER ULTIMATE DESTINATION.

Hello Hinds Family, I'm a neighbor living in the area. Having heard of your most recent loss, I want to leave you a brief post. I too, well know the grief of losing love ones, and that at times like these, it is encouraging just to know that others are thinking about us. Something that has really helped me to cope with such losses, is the wonderful promise of Christ Jesus, recorded for our comfort at John 5 ; 21. I hope, that when you are feeling up to it, that you are going to look up this powerful Scripture, in your copy of The Bible. Also, I hope that this brief note, finds The Family feeling as good as can be expected Today. With Greatest Sympathy, Your Neighbor ; P.W.

We're so sorry to hear you lost a dear loved one. It is very comforting to read the Bible in these difficult moments. I personally like Psalms 9:9 which reads: “Jehovah will become a secure refuge for the oppressed, A secure refuge in times of distress.” Our loving God cares about us and is ready to bring us comfort if we allow him (1John 5:14). Jehovah our God also has made the provision of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored into a beautiful paradise (Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55:11). Close your eyes and imagine yourself welcoming back to life your dear loved one? Find out more about this resurrection online at jw.org ~ R&R Lopez
