Hello, my name is Johnny. Occasionally I will view the online obituary archives and attempt to offer families of deceased loved ones comfort and hope. I am sorry to read about the passing of your loved one. I send to you and your family my sincere condolences. Did you know that it is possible that you can see your dead loved ones again? The bible holds out hope for the dead as well as the living. When possible, please turn in your bible to Acts 24:15. When you have finished reading that scripture, please turn to Rev. 21: 3 & 4. The final scripture that I encourage you to read is found at Daniel 2:44. Take time to meditate on these scriptures. Jehovah God is merciful and loving. God’s Kingdom will soon bring relief to dieing mankind.

To the family of Ms. Addie, I never had the pleasure of meeting her, however, I am friends with a member of her family. I want to encourage you all. I know that it's hard to see past the NOW, but know that God's kingdom just became a lot brighter with it's newest addition-Addie. It is true that to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. I never could understand that growing up, and even now the concept is sometimes hard for me to grasp. We as humans want the person here with us no matter what, but try and understand that the Master knows best. I want to leave you all a piece of inspiration that has helped me tremendoulsy with my own losses. My Great Grandmother used to recite this poem to us all of the time when we were kids..and even at times when we were adults.When she developed Alzheimers and couldn't remember the portion of her life that included her children, much less me, her grandkid, I would say it back to her in hopes of jogging her memory. I hope you find comfort in it as I have. May God Bless and Keep you all. "The Lord is My Shepherd" The Lord is my Shepherd, And I am His lamb, Who loves me in spite Of the way that I am. Who sees something in me, That other folks miss, And I sometimes think maybe, Because of this... I've never felt bitter, Unloved or alone, Though sometimes I grieve for My loved ones now gone home. For I've always believed in The words He has said, That the spirit lives on, Though the body be dead. And I feel closer to Him, Because of His care, And I know when I call Him, That he'll be there. So I fear not the shadows, So dark and so dim, For my Shepherd will carry me Safely through them.
