sEZAuiUL - Your article peerfctly shows what I needed to know, thanks! - from Minerva
For Thajuana's Family - I am so very sorry for your loss. I can understand how you are feeling. My aunt passed away last month, and it was a devastating blow to the family. The pain can seem so unbearable. The Bible has been a great source of comfort for me. I hope it is for you too.
The Bible speaks on the condition of the dead in the book of Ecclesiastes. In chapter 9 verse 5 it says "the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." When Jesus friend Lazarus died he told his disciples he was going to "awaken him from sleep" (John 11:11). So he likened the condition of the dead to a deep sleep. Isn't it comforting to know our loved ones aren't suffering?
From what I have read, I can tell Thajuana meant so much to all of you and I know you would love to see her again. John 5:28, 29 says that "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Jesus promised that all those in Jehovah's memory will be resurrected or brought back to life right here on earth.
Along with the resurrection, the Bible also talks about other changes that will take place here on earth. I am looking forward to the fulfillment of Isaiah 33:24 when "no resident will say: 'I am sick'" and also Isaiah 25:8 where it says the Sovereign Lord Jehovah "will actually swallow up death forever and certainly wipe the tears from all faces". No more sickness and death. Doesn't that sound good to you?
I am looking forward to seeing my dead loved ones and all the other promises God is going to bring about on this earth. We can have total confidence in these promises because Titus 1:2 says "God cannot lie".
I know loosing Thajuana is still an open wound, and I just wanted to share something encouraging with you. Hopefully this brings you some comfort. Please feel free to contact me. My email address is Futurehope4u09@yahoo.com.

You were the greatest big sister a girl could have, you gave so much of yourself to others.T I know that great is your reward in heaven, say hello to my son Rodger that got there 20 days before you. I have no one to spend the night with on Fridays now Floyd and I , we enjoyed that so much with you and Harold. I have so many fun memories of all the times and things we shared together. I love you so much, I always have and always will.
I miss hearing your voice everyday

T take your well deserved rest, as all our family that have gone on before you welcome you. I will see you when I get there and love you forever. Your sister Lynell Burgess Arnold

I haven't forgotten... - I was not even twenty when we made the transition from being Cousins to being FRIENDS! I remember all the good times that you and Harold and I had whenever I came back to town on leave... how you'd call up your siblings or we'd drop in on them, how we'd get together and talk, joke and laugh for hours about anything, everything... and nothing. It seemed like we had forever. We had so much fun and it was usually YOU that pulled it all together.
I never remember you being even mildly iratated with me You were never critical or judgemental. You were always smiling that beautiful smile that you inherited from your Mother. I haven't forgotten any of this and never will.
The thing that I always marveled at was that no matter how long we were apart, whenever we got together we picked up where we left off without missing a beat. If the HEREAFTER is anything like the place I believe it is, you've already received a warm and loving welcome and you're laughing and catching up on old times with our loved ones who crossed over before... and you'll be there, like always as the rest of us trickle in. We'll pick up where we left off like it was yesterday... and the good times will last forever. - from Maurice Wynn

George Drake - Hey Mom I miss you. You probably would not even recognize me now. I've screwed up so much in my life. I don't have you to talk to, I feel so alone. I don't k now how prayer works in heaven, but if you pray, please pray for my family and for me. I miss you and Dad so much. I thought I was being strong when you first left, but what happened to me.
George Drake - Hey Mom, we had a Birthday Party for Berlin today, she was 4 on the 9th. We miss you and Dad. Thanks for the red balloons from heaven, Berlin loves them. I'm lost without you, my family needs me, so that keeps me going. I try to be strong, but sometimes everything just slips away. Remember me, love you.
George Drake - Merry Christmas Mom. It's hard this holiday season without you. This is the first Christmas of my life without you and Dad. I kinda don't know how to celebrate without you. Everyone has invited us to their home's, but I just wish I was with the two of you. Can't get over how Dad went to be with you only 16 days after you left. Tell all of Heaven Merry Christmas. We love you and miss you, Berlin talks about you everyday. Love you always and wish I was with you.
