"June, I hope you know how much you are missed. Not by just your family. You have many friends from our great WCHS class of 1969. You were my first friend when I started in 3rd grade at St. Simons. You will always be loved. PS..... If you run into my mom or dad in Heaven, give them a hug for me."
"I'd like to express deep sympathy for the loss of your loved one. I hope and pray this message brings comfort and soothes the pain that you are experiencing at this time. What has help me to cope and deal with the loss of a loved one is found in God's Word the Bible. John 5:28,29 says "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus] voice and come out." And at Revelation 21:3,4 it states that there will be a time when "death will be no more." You can find similar comforting verses at jw.org"
