I am very sorry for your loss. No one really is prepared to let someone we love fall sleep in death so it is okay what you are feeling right now. Jehovah God created us with the desire of wanting to live forever, that is one of the reasons why this situation is the most difficult of all. It's good to see how Jehovah God promises us that this will end and that it will happen in the near future. Jehovah God promises: "He will wipe out the tears from our eyes and death will be no more " (Revelation 21: 3 , 4). May that family find comfort in Jehovah God, the God of comfort.

Lois was a lovely person. We admired her energy and enthusiasm for life. We have missed her here at Sawgrass for the last few months and will miss her even more now.

Lois was a very unique woman. I miss seeing her around Sawgrass walking Syfi. Lois was always friendly and carried a big smile. Prayers to the family.
