May Fond Memories Of Jesse Bring You Comfort During This Hard Time In Your Life. Look Back On All The Good Memories You Were Able To Have And Smile At The Fact That You Were Able To Share These. My Heart And Sympathies Go Out To You And Your Family.
Proverbs 10:7 The Memory Of The Righteous One Is Due For A Blessing.”
Something That Gives Us Great Comfort Is The Bible Truth That Death Is Not The Dot Or Period At The End Of A Sentence, But Rather The Comma Or Pause Because Our Dear Loved Ones Will Live Again. We Know That We Will See Our Loved Ones Again Because The Beautiful Promise Recorded At 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.” What A Truly Special Day So Close At Hand To Be Able To Embrace Our Loved Ones Again!
