We are deeply sorry for your loss. We only knew Barbara a short while when she visited our church with Julia and when she played Bingo. Barbara was fun to be around. May God give the family the needed strength
to get thru this sad time, The good news is that Barbara is now with Jesus. God Bless Irene and Cindy.

Dear Black 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.
