So Sorry For Your Loss
Lynn Scott Woods-Hill
I am sadden to hear of the passing of your beloved Cecil. His passing is a devastating experience for your family which words can never express what you feel. However, only God can provide the greatest comfort of all. The Bible based resurrection hope for Cecil is outlined by Jesus at John 5:28,29 is consoling for your family. Nevertheless, the pain that's in your hearts for his passing at times will be overwhelming. God well knows the pain you're experiencing. God address the pain in your heart. Psalms 34:18 it states, "God is near those broken at heart and crushed in spirit". So rely on the God of all comfort Jehovah becasue he will sustain you, strengthen you and comfort you during this time of great sorrow. (Psalms 55:22)

Selena, I am truly sorry for your loss. Late Wednesday afternoon, I was at the hospital serving a family in the room next to your Dad and noticed his name. I remembered that was your Dad's name and I was saddened to read about his passing just shortly after that on Wednesday. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless You All.

Papa, It's hard to believe you're gone. It will never be the same walking into Granny's house and not seeing you in your rocker in front of the wood stove. Memories of listening to your jokes as a child will always stay with me. I love you and I miss you...

"The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God." My thoughts and prayers are with the family during your time of loss.
