To Gerald, Anthony, and Our dear sister Louise, we are so sorry for you loss. Our prayer is that Jehovah sustains all of you during this difficult time. Sorry that we can not be there personally to comfort you. However we earnestly look forward to the fulfillment of the word at Isa 25:8 when death will be swallowed up and tears of sorrow will be a thing is the past.

Louise,
Have confidence in Jehovah's ability to strengthen you "due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power."
I met your mom at your wedding and found her to be a straight forward speaking woman and I appreciated that about her. Be encouraged by Revelation 21:3,4

Hey Louise, I just heard about our dear sister, your mother Gloria. Robert and I send our deep condolences ?? ?? We mourn with you. And at the same time, we rejoice in Jehovah's promises. If she's ever had surgery before (and even if she never has), a patient doesn't know the exact time that the general anesthesia hits them; they only know of their consciousness when they awake from the anesthesia. As quick as in one second of a blink of an eye, was the time that passed from THEIR PERSPECTIVE. And so it is with her. Only, the Paradise is her recovery room. She is currently undergoing a total body makeover. Biggest surgery ever ?? ?? She will hear our King, Christ Jesus, waking her up quite soon ??

Sis. Shores was like a second mom to me. Her sweet and spunky personality as well as her love for Jehovah was unmatched. Beautiful inside and out she gave the tightest hugs. Like many loved ones we've lost, I cannot wait to see her, Gwen and Kim in the new world under God's Kingdom. May Jehovah continue to comfort you and your family.
