Saying Goodbye To Someone We Love Is Heartbreaking. May You Find Comfort In Knowing That Our Heavenly Father Knows The Heartbreak Of Loss And Is Here For Us As He Promised At Isaiah 43:2 “When You Pass Through The Waters, I Will Be With You, And Through The Rivers, They Will Not Flood Over You. When You Walk Through The Fire, You Will Not Be Scorched, Nor Will The Flame Singe You.” Although Death Is The Most Heartbreaking Experience We Will Ever Face We Are Not Left Without Hope. God Promises To Bring Our Loved Ones Back To Life Through A Resurrection As He Promised At, Isaiah 25:8 ” He Will Swallow Up Death Forever, And The Sovereign Lord Jehovah Will Wipe Away The Tears From All Faces.” How We Long For That Truly Special Day To Embrace Them Again!

Ellen And Rachel, I Was Very Sorry To Read Of Bill’S Passing. I Enjoyed Time Spent With Him Sundays At Taylor Books. He Told Wonderful Stories Of His Childhood And His Adulthood. Most Of All, He Was So Very Proud Of His Family; Rachel, He Always Said You Were The Most Intelligent Person He Knew, And The Best Cook He Knew. He Also Told Us How Bright And Intelligent Burton Had Been. And, Ellen, His Love For You Was There To See. I Will Miss Him, But I Will Not Forget Him.
