Mrs. Marsh left a message on March 28, 2019:
Death can be one of the most difficult things in life to endure. The loss of a love one can cause tremendous grief, pain and sorrow. But knowing that the Grand Creator of the Universe, Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18), views Death as an enemy should give us Hope for a different future (1Corinthians 15:26). In this future, that we're promised in the Bible, it expresses the loss of Death, Pain and Sorrow. How great it will be to see our dear love ones again (Revelation 21:3,4). Trust in the Resurrection Hope will sustain us until we meet our love ones again (John 5:29,28). Please accept this message as my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the departed.
