Debra was my student at Morehead High School forty-one years ago, and she made an effort to stay in touch with me following her graduation. She and I have been good friends over four decades. It breaks my heart to know how she suffered with cancer at the end of her life. She has always been a hard worker, a cheerful person, and a good friend to many. I am honored to have known her. Sympathy to her family and friends.

Dear Franklin family,
I am sorry for your pain, and loss.
You can find real comfort in what God has promised, such as in John 5:28,29 -He promises that he is going to resurrect all those who have ever died, back to life again here on earth. And all the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever. You can read about this in Revelation 21:3,4, and 1 Corinthians 15:26. To learn more about God's promises, go to JW.org.
