2 Condolences
We know Eugene was special to Chris and Annette and that makes him special to us. Though it goes that we are sorry for your loss, it also goes, that the loss is not forever. We look forward to getting better aquainted with him when he is part of those whom Paul spoke about at (Acts 24:15) “and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” One day, while we are working at turning this earth back to the paradise Jehovah meant it to be, we will look up and Eugene will be asking, “What can I do to help?”
Then, death will be no more (Revelation 21:3,4)

Dear Bonnie & Family,
Joe and I are sorry for the loss of your Father, and the other roles he had as GrandFather, and as Friend, and of being one of Jehovah’s people. Joe’s Mother passed away in July and he lost his Father in 93 and he really can sympathise with that kind of loss. Hugs to you and we look forward to seeing you soon, so we can hug you in person. Please pass on to your Family our condolences and our Sympathies. Warm Christian Love Joe and Jackie Wede
