To the Minter and Jones families, God give us memory so that we will not forget beautiful angels like Mrs Hattie Mae. Mrs. Jones was my fifth grade mentor/instructor. Know that the Comforter is there for all of your needs, not just in the time of your loss but always. He is alive and there forever!

With Sympathy & Caring; Your dear Hattie is in Jehovah God's memory now. The Bible says "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life." Jehovah is the Creator of all life so he can remember our dead loved ones in every detail, and he is ready to restore them to a healthy life. This wonderful future Blessing of the resurrection will take place right here on earth in God's own appointed time. John 5:28,29 Acts 24:15 Job 33:25

To the Family:A life without tears, death and pain will soon be a reality and we can look forward to that time because Jehovah God promise that it will come about at Revelation 21:3,4. For other comforting Bible verses go to www.jw.org on the website. Your love one is only asleep. Isaiah 26:19 Love you all.
