Hello,
My Name Is Tashea. I Did Not Know Ms. Smith Personally But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death. I Have Experienced The Pain That Comes From Losing Someone Close To Me So My Heart Moves Me To Share With Others What Has Helped Me To Cope At Such A Difficult Time.
I First Want To Say That I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. I Do Not Know If You Are A Bible Reader Or Not And I Hope I Do Not Offend Anyone, But The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort Is The One Found At 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4. It Says, “Praised Be The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father Of Tender Mercies And The God Of All Comfort Who Comforts Us In All Our Trials So That We May Be Able To Comfort Others In Any Sort Of Trial With The Comfort That We Receive From God.” I Would Like To Share With You The Comfort I Have Received From God. He Promises At John 5: 28, 29 That “The Hour Is Coming In Which All Those In The Memorial Tombs Will Hear His Voice And Come Out, Those Who Did Good Things To A Resurrection Of Life, And Those Who Practiced Vile Things To A Resurrection Of Judgment.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Not Only Welcome Back To Life Our Loved Ones We Have Lost, But We Will Also Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Ever Again. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time. If You Need Anything Or Would Like To Know More About What The Bible Says About The Future, Feel Free To Contact Me. Have A Great Day.

I Was Heartbroken To Hear Of Drema’S Passing. We Were Such Good Friends In School And She Was One Of My Bridesmaids When I Married. Such A Special Kind Person. We Had The Best Times But Life Marches On And We End Up Following Many Other Paths So We Lost Contact Some Time Ago. I Am Living In Florida Now And Was Unable To Attend The Services.
I Was Just Talking With Another School Friend The Other Night About The Time He (Ike Fauber), Drema And I Went To A Carnival In Dunbar And Saw This Weird Freak Show. We Had A Good Laugh About It. Little Did We Know That She Was Suffering.
She Was Very Special. My Deepest Heartfelt Sympathies To The Entire Family.
