Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
God be with you.

To Dorothy Laster and the Minter Family, I would like to express my sincere condolence. One of the saddest things someone can experience is the death of a loved one. you may find it comforting to know that at John 11:11 death is compared to a peaceful sleep so we are assured that very soon we will see our dead loved when Jehovah resurrected them back to life again. John 5:28,29.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-30
Even though I don’t know you personally, I know you were blessed to see 104 yrs. So, I know you were a good person, and you did good things for those around you in the name of GOD!
