Please allow me to offer my condolences to the, Groce family with these comforting words: The resurrections Jesus performed when on earth were a foregleam of what he will do in the future as King of God’s Kingdom. During his rule over the earth, the heavenly Jesus will bring back to life those humans who are asleep in mankind’s common grave. That is why he said: “I am the resurrection.” (John 11:25) Think of the happiness you will feel when you see your loved ones again! Think, too, of the joy that resurrected ones will experience!—Luke 8:56. I am very sorry for your loss. May God’s Word comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl ~ crochetmerylsway@gmail.com.

It is with great sadness that we hear of Ms June’s passing. She was one of the fairest people we were honored to have met. As she lives now in heaven she lived her life on earth, always uplifting and a genuinely the truest of friend to all. I, Shelia, will miss my very good friend. I pray for God’s comfort to surround you at this difficult time.
Billy and Cindy,
Mrs. June was one of the sweetest ladies that we have had the privilege to know. Mimosa will never be the same. I always looked forward to her calling and reminding me about the baked beans and the dessert for the annual Mimosa chicken supper. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and may God wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace and comfort today and in the days to come.
