I was very blessed to have spent a couple of weeks with my sister just prior to her meeting Jesus. She will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. My thoughts and prayers to all her family and friends.
May I offer my sincere condolences. May your hearts find comfort in God’s Word where it states: “He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) May your loved one awaken to a world where there will be peace, no sickness (Isaiah 33:24), and no more troubles (Revelation 21:4) throughout eternity (Psalm 37:29). May your hearts find comfort and hope in God’s Word, family, friends and good memories at this time. My deepest sympathy to you.
I was so blessed to have spent some time with my beloved sister in the past few weeks. She will be greatly missed by all who who had the pleasure of knowing her. I send my love and prayers to all her family and friends who were blessed by her life.
I will miss my Aunt Florence. My mother, her sister, would share their conversations with me and we would lovingly critique the conversation. She was the one sibling of seven that always kept the family informed of things of importance. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and I know my mother is mourning her passing. Prayers to all the family during this time of grief.
I am thinking of you during your time of grief. I will miss my phone calls from my beloved sister. Florence will be greatly missed by all who knew her and especially her family. I feel so blessed to have spent time with her recently and share memories with her. My heart is broken. Prayers to all!
We are so sorry for your loss. When this happens in our family we need more than human strength. God and his Son can provide what we need. Please review these scriptures : John 5:28-29 “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” 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.”
My condolences to the extended family and friends of Florence Wearherford. Aunt Florence was my rock when I arrived in Florida to care for my Mom, her Sister. She was always there to offer advice, encouragement but mostly unconditional love. Never failed to put a smile on my face while we talked on the telephone. She was indeed a speacial Lady. I think that trait runs in the Morrison family. I will miss her phone calls just to check on me and tell me she was thinking of me. Florence and Celia are together now in God’s embrace. I’m sure their cooking up something!! I can just imagine those two together again. What joy. With deepest sympathy on her passing. She will always be remembered with love.
