"My sincere sympathies to Mr. Dodge and Mary, my first friend in grammar school. Your Mom was a beautiful lady that I often referred to as the real Donna Reed. I have so many lovely memories of her; one of them was when she taught us how to make pudding parfaits for dinner- who knew that memory would stay with me forever, she took the time to make it special. She loved you dearly and was always there to help others. May she rest in peace."

"Dear Mr. Dodge....Please accept my deepest sympathy of the passing of your beloved wife. I will always smile when I remember her gentle ways and kindness when you both came into the market. I know she was the love of your life and I will keep both of you in my prayers. May God bless you."
"I am so very sorry that you have suffered this loss. It is hard to know just what to say when a loved one dies. Be assured that our loving Creator is aware of your loss and pain. Through His Son, Christ Jesus, he has arranged to bring back to life, ""all those in the Memorial tombs."" (John 5:28,29) At that time, Rev. 21:3-5 says: ""Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said: Look! I am making all things new. Also, he says: Write, for these words are faithful and true. I am very sorry for your loss. May God's Word, the Bible comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl, jw.org - healingwordsforu@gmail.com"
"I had the chance to be with Alice while visiting my mother-in-law for the last time at the same Hospice. By chance, I ran into Mary who brought me to Alice's room where we had a long conversation about her mother's wonderful life as a mother and wife. I missed her husband John, then and as always. I prayed over Alice and felt God gently caling her. Rest in peace, my friend."
