I am sorry to hear about the lost of Mary B. Freeman and I would like to express my condolences.
I lost love ones in death myself. The pain, the grief, and helplessness can seem unbearable.
Such times we need God word the Bible for comfort at Act 24:15 state “There is going to be
a resurrection.” That is a loving promise from Jehovah God we are going to see our dead love ones again.
John 5 :28, 29 also tell us about Resurrection hope of being reunited with your dead love ones
here on the earth. You can visit our website: JW.ORG for more scriptures comfort and a video
” Is There Hope for the Dead “. I hope this bring comfort to you and your family.
DEAR FAMILY,
“While I am sadden to learn that you are mourning the loss of your beloved Mary, it saddens King Jesus and his Heavenly Father Jehovah God even more. (Psalm 83:18) Because death is an enemy that brings pain and emptiness to each family it touch, our Heavenly Father is “close” to those that grieve and feel brokenhearted as Psalm 34:18 reminds us.
As time passes, may comfort from your many shared family memories bring greater consolation to all. The fact that you have memories, certainly shows that Almighty God Jehovah has memories of Mary, whose life he longs to restore healthy to a safe global Paradise Earth, free from pain, danger, tears of sorrow, sickness, suffering and death through his son King Jesus. (Revelation 21:3-4, John 5:28-29 and Isaiah 65:17-29) You are warmly invited to visit this free website of comfort, JW.ORG to enjoy these Bible promises and view the video, “IS THERE HOPE FOR THE DEAD?”
I was so sad to hear of my best friend’s passing. Mary and I were friends for many years. Thinking back on great memories of her I remember the times on Saturdays we would go to Belk and buy the material and Mary would make us an outfit to wear to the movies that Saturday night. She was a very talented person when it came to crafts and her sewing machine. You could search the world over and never find a better hearted person than Mary. She was a mild and meek spirited lady. She and I worked at Warsaw Manufacturing Plant for years. While working at the plant she got her driver’s licence and bought her a chocolate Brown little Ford Pinto. She let my son David get his driver’s license in her New car. Mary was the type of person could never say “no”. She will be missed by me. I will never forget her, the memories, and the friendship. Someone told me that you never have but two to three “True” friends in a lifetime. Mary was my number one friend. Remember this scripture from God’ word. 2 Cor. 5:8 “To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.” Mary thanks for being a friend and a vital part of my life. I will always remember the times we spent together. My best friend!
I am so sorry to hear of Mary Olive’s passing; mom (Roberta Wheeler Bradford) spoke of her often and times she stopped by to visit. You and yours are in our prayers for we just lost mom ourselves in Sept.
Dear Jack and David,
Both David and I were saddened to hear of your Mother’s death. She was always so friendly and sweet to us. Didn’t realize until now that her service had taken place. I wish we could have been there to express our condolences to you personally.
Prayers for you in the days to come.
