Condolence: Dear Family and Friends of John:
It will soon be a year since John died last December 22, 2016. Even so, I know he is still loved and will never be forgotten. The passing of time puts a cool bandage on the burning pain of loss, and, β¦ making it through the day, does get easier. Still, the loss hurts, especially when anniversaries come up.
May I tell you about a future day coming when ... all those sleeping, Resting In Peace, will be resurrected to a peaceful, happy life here on a transformed, paradise Earth?
You can welcome back John, with hugs and kisses, and your hurt and pain regarding this loss can be replaced with indescribable happiness and tears of joy. Then the scripture at Isaiah 65:17B can be fulfilled for you: "For look, ... the former (painful) things will not be called to mind neither will they come up into the heart." None of the hurts, sorrows or disappointments of life in this system of things will bother us then.
Would you like to know when and how Jehovah God will do such wonderful things for us? The answers are all in the Bible.
Sincerely yours,
Harolyne

Condolence: Dear Family and Friends of Ovid:
I was saddened to learn of the death of Ovid on the McManus website. Even though I did not know Ovid personally, please accept my deepest sympathy at your loss.
I would like to share with you some verses from the Bible that bring continuing comfort, thoughts that others have shared with me when I lost loved ones.
First, it was never our Creator's purpose that anyone should die, ever! When He put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they had the prospect of endless life in ageless bodies, in perfect health, on a perfect Earth (Genesis 1:28). Adam and Eve could have passed that life on to us, but they sinned and lost everything for themselves ... and us. (Romans 5:12)
Next, it comforted me and softened my feelings toward Jehovah God to learn that it is Satan who causes aging, sicknesses like Parkinson's, cancer, and death--not God (Hebrews 2:14). Long before He created humans, the Creator already had all the angels He wanted in heaven (Job 38:7).
Finally, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are our guarantees that this Earth will yet be a peaceful, global paradise and that Ovid (and countless millions) will be resurrected to enjoy it! Remember Jesus' words at John 5:28-29a and John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life," and "all those in the memorial tombs ... will be resurrected." Until then Ovid, Rest In Peace.
May you have comfort and peace from these promises until the day when you can be reunited with a young and healthy Ovid. And, ... if you would ever like to know more about when and how our Creator Jehovah will bring about these wonderful blessings (or why He has allowed sickness, suffering and death since Adam and Eve sinned so long ago), please feel free to contact me at the address below.
With deepest sympathy and genuine respect,

Condolence: The days without you are lonely, the nights without you are cold, but even though you are gone that burning passion will never grow old. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep at night, just knowing that you are gone, but it makes me feel better knowing that you are peacefully in Heaven. Your body lays at rest now and itβs so much difficult than I thought. However, time will have to take its course for there's nothing left to do. You will be loved forever.
Julia Stanford
You loving wife.

Condolence From: Charmayne π»πΊπΉπ Goodluck
Condolence: This is so hard to understand, I'm remembering 33 years ago when we both had our first kid, (me a girl and you a boy) , I cannot believe you are no longer here, death really is our worst enemy. Sleep on in peace my brother and Especially to your wife, Kids, Mom, Desiree ,Anette and Orin, Pepsi and all the others who loves and will be missing you, may they cherish the many, many memories . You meant so much to so many people . It's so sad you left us way too soon, but since we have no control over that all we can do now is keep living each day doing things that would've made you proud and accept the fact that God knows best (very hard to do right now) . I pray for faith , strength and comfort and healing for those left behind. May we support each other in this time of great need, REST IN PEACE OVID.

Condolence: On behalf of my entire family, I would like extend my sincere condolences to Ovid's immediate family, his mom and siblings. Please know how much you are loved, and how deeply your loss is felt by me. It will be the little things you will remember. His smile, laughter and humor. I know it seems hard right now, but it's the memories of these little things, that will help push the pain away, and bring the smiles back again. Love always, your cousin Donna.
