Dear Masonia family,
I’m sorry to read of your loved one’s passing, and may all find comfort in our Lord’s word during this time of sadness.
In John 11:23-26, “Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
The above scripture is a wonderful promise from our Lord Jesus, and those who have passed on are now in the care of our Lord God, who has shown his love for us through his Beloved Son.
God’s continued blessings be upon you all; your loved one’s reward is waiting.
Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to the entire family . May God comfort you all during this difficult time. Rest In Peace Mr. Masonia.
Jerre Lynn, we are thinking of you during this painful time. Parents of Joel Johnson.
