Posted at 14:09h, 18 OctoberAfter I read about Sharon’s recent death after just 55 way too short years of precious life, I wanted to express my feelings of sympathy for Kenney and the Jackson-Nance family and friends. I know Sharon has left you with many precious memories and will be greatly missed. When our loved ones fall asleep in death, the pain and grief seems unbearable. Our loving God, Jehovah (Psalm 83:18), understands how we feel and he comforts us by means of his word the Bible. Psalm 34: 18 tells us: “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Most of us have seen this enemy death claim the lives of people dear to us. But Jehovah God promises to destroy this enemy, death, once and for all. Rev. 21: 4; tells us: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” (Isaiah 25: 8, 1 Corinthians 15: 26) Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will live……And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever. For Jehovah himself has spoken it.” For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt. It has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. John 17;3 God’s kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection (John 5: 28, John 6: 40, John 11:23-25) I offer my sincere condolences to the family.

I pray it will bring you comfort to please watch this faith strengthening video: “Can The Dead Really Live Again?”

Posted at 01:46h, 04 MaySharon’s passing has been on my mind. We were friends at Gray Elementary and graduated together from Lynn Camp High School. She and I spend many weekends at my grandparents home giggling our way through the long, beautiful days of summer. It is hard to believe that she has left this earth as quietly as she arrived. See you soon…..Marlene Belew
