    My thoughts and prayers are with Edith’s family. I got to know Edith in the 70’s. She was a sweet woman and could cook anything and it was always good! Her laugh was a wonderful sincere laugh. I worked with her at Amana and she was a pleasure to work with. She most always had a smile and that is what I remember her by–her smiling personality! May God be with you during this time!

    Sincerely, Betty Lou Pirtle Dunivan

    Please allow me to offer my condolences to the, Buchanan family with these healing words: “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29. On the basis of this Scriptural information, we today can look forward joyfully to a “new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell.” (2 Pet. 3:13) That righteous rule with its miraculous resurrection of all those in the memorial tombs will bring gladness to the heart of many who now mourn their dead. I am very sorry for your loss. May God’s Word comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl ~ healingwordsforu@gmail.com. For more information about God’s Kingdom promises, please visit jw.org.
