Where does one begin when talking and thinking about Ms. Mary Ellen Whetstone
( Mama ). A woman who holds a special place in my heart. From the first time we met until the last conversation we shared via video chat just a few short months ago, she has always shown love. To her honey of 38 years, children, and all her family members I pray that each of you find comfort when reminiscing on the precious and priceless memories you have with her. Lean on God during this difficult transition. Thank you for sharing her with me.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. One of the most difficult things we have to deal with is the death of a loved ones. The Bible promise; "He will swallow up death forever and will wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) The Bible gives us hope that one day our dead loved ones will be brought back to life.

To God be the glory for His care and provision for over 90 years. It is good to know that my aunt is now resting at "home" - a place prepared for her that is eternal in the heavens and not made by human hands. Her God is my God and her people are my people and she is in my future. May the family rejoice and be comforted as we remember her life. Hallelujah!

I am sorry to learn of the death of your beloved family member. Jehovah God made a promise to us all at Revelation 21:3-4 states, 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. The former things have passed away. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death.

Condolences to your family on the loss of a loved one, death is not always something we are prepared for and it can be a complexity of emotion and stress when it happens. May there be comfort found in these words from the bible.
Revelation 21:4 (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.) It’s refreshing to know that Jehovah will put an end to suffering once we understand that death is not the end and we have a hope for the resurrection to an everlasting life.
