Worked with Marilyn at St. Catherine's Hospital. There were 3 of us who stayed friends from work , Marilyn, Dolores Norcross and myself We did breakfast and small trips. Once even the 3 of us drove to Charleston , South Carolina. Had good conversation and made good memories over the years. The 3 of us had breakfast this January for Marilyn's birthday and I will remember her as she was that day, smiling and talking.

My sincere condolences go to the family at this trying time. There is a Bible passage that comforts me greatly. Jesus promised he will resurrect our loved ones. John 5: 28 and 29. When earth becomes the place of peace Jesus talked about at Matthew 5:5, then we will live the promise of everlasting peace. Psalm 37:29. We have a promise from God at Revelation 21:3,4. There will be no more death and pain. There is more comfort to be read about in God's Word, the Bible concerning the resurrection and reuniting with our loved ones. May God’s peace be yours. Isaiah 26:4.

Hello. I'm Sheila and I am sending my condolences on your recent loss. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and would like to share a scripture. You will be surprised to find that in the Bible at Acts 24:15 it says, "There is going to be a resurrection." Along with God's promise to us at Revelation 21:3, 4 of sorrow, death, and pain being done away with permanently.It is my hope that this bit of information is of comfort to you. Please be sure to find videos, movies, articles, and even an online Bible - all free of charge for your use, along with information on the resurrection, and current events on JW.ORGMay God be with you.Sincerely,Sheila M. Robinson
