The death of a loved one is one of the most stressful things humans experiences. Jehovah God promise in the near future to do away with death and tears(Revelation 21:3,4). Allow God to help you heal by means of his consoling Word, the Bible because he cares for you(1Peter 5:7) and he promises to resurrect the dead(John 5:28,29).

On behalf of Yuletide Chapter 383 OES ... (Buena Vista, GA) Columbus District 4 / Prince Hall Affiliated - No words can express your pain but I wish they console you. The beautiful soul that has departed, shall rest peaceful in heaven. May the sweet memories and love of Sister Napper, give you strength and courage to see out these times.

Sending my sincerest sympathy to the family of Mrs.Napier. She was such a beautiful elegant lady. A statue of strength and grace. My late husband Dr. William P. Goodwin and I loved and adored Mrs. Napier. I sincerely regret the loss of this magnificent Trailblazer.
May God bring you comfort during this most difficult time.
With dearest love and prayers,

I met Cousin Cora just once in my life but I knew she was somebody special. I could tell from the glow of pride in my mother's face when she introduced me to Cousin Cora. We were all Radney descendants but I knew from the way Momma beamed in the presence of Cousin Cora, that she was a special Radney. I remember
her as being 'prim and proper'. That is a high compliment! I thank God for the life of Cousin Cora, even if I met her just once. God rest her soul!

May our loving heavenly Father Jehovah heal your bereaved hearts. By meditating and God’s promises found in the Bible you can find real hope and strength to keep going during this difficult time... Revelation 21:3-5 Promises us a future blessing with no more pain, suffering, nor anyone dying... Acts 24:15 promises the hope of a resurrection, think of the Joy when you see your loved one again alive and well right here on the earth..
