Dear Family Of Miss Lela, I Am So Very Sorry For Your Loss. May You Receive Comfort From The Hope Given To Miss Lela From God. It Is My Hope That The Words At Acts 24:15 Show You That God Has Miss Lela In His Loving Memory And He Will Not Forget Her.

My Heart And Deepest Sympathies To The Family And Friends Of Lela During This Difficult Time. I Know The Heartbreak And Pain Of Losing A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Take A Moment To Share An Encouraging Scripture That Gives Me Much Hope. 1 Corinthians 15:26 “And The Last Enemy, Death, Is To Be Brought To Nothing.” When We Lose Someone In Death Our Heavenly Father Sees The Pain We Feel And He Promises To Very Soon Do Away With This Wicked Enemy Of Ours Once And For All. And Then He Promises The Most Beautiful Hope, To Bring Back To Life All Our Dear Loved Ones And To Reunite Them With Us Again! What A Beautiful Promise Of Comfort And Hope And How We Long For That Truly Special Day So Close At Hand.
