My deepest condolences. She is home now with Uncle Reed and Grandpa and the rest of the family. May she RIP in God’s arms. It is so nice to think that she is now longer confused, and is her old self again.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Edna will be missed by her family and friends, but she will not be forgotten by our heavenly father Jehovah. We often wonder can the dead really live again. The Bible says there is going to be a resurrection. (John 5:28,29) This means that Edna will be given a fresh new start with the prospect of living forever. (Psalms 37:29) I hope this will bring comfort knowing that you can see her again to share more wonderful times together.
