We just learned of Lee’s death, we will always remember him fondly. He came here regularly, to visit or just to pick black berries. He made us a beautiful farm sign last year. Our sympathy’s go to your families. We would have been there if we had known. He was a wonderful fun loving person. We enjoyed him very much.

He will always be remembered as you share the stories and the memories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant, may you find comfort…And, throughout this difficult time, may you also know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for you and all your family. I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.-2Timothy 4:7. As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me. -Psalms 3:5

While reading I came across the name of Lee, your dear loved one. I understand well the pain that this time can cause, so I wanted to take this time to express my condolence to you for your loss. I know that a time like this is never easy to deal with. That’s why the scriptures at (1 Corth. 15:26)–Calls death an ” Enemy” to mankind because it takes our loved ones away from us. However I wanted to share a thought with you that comforted me when I lost two family members in death. The man Job in ( Job 14:14) asks” If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?”. Happily Jesus answers in ( John 5:28,29)-” Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life” Imagine how wonderful it will be to see our loved ones resurrected back to life and right here on earth.–( Ps.37:29)-?The righteous themselves will posses the earth. And they will reside forever upon it?. Jesus in ( John 5:28) was relaying a promise from his heavenly Father-(Jehovah-(Ps.83:18) who at (Titus 1:2) says is a ” God who can not lie” Well I hope that you will be able to draw some comfort from these scriptural thoughts as I did. Now I will end by saying, may you find peace in the bible’s promises and in the treasured memories of Lee.
