Belinda, So sorry for your loss. Praying peace and comfort for you and your family during this time.
Please allow me to offer my condolences to the, Hamilton family with these comforting words: Jesus spoke of a time when “all those in the memorial tombs” would “come out” to renewed life in a paradise earth.—John 5:28, 29; Luke 23:43. True, that glowing hope does not take all the tragedy out of death. Jesus himself broke down and cried over the death of his friend Lazarus—and that was just minutes before he resurrected him! At least, then, death is not always final. Jesus and his Father, both hate death. The Bible calls death “the last enemy” and says that it will “be brought to nothing.” (1 Corinthians 15:26) In the coming Paradise, when Satan’s rule is a thing of the past, death will be gone forever. Its innocent victims will be reclaimed by the resurrection. This is the hope for, Mrs. Hamilton, as well. Then, we will at last be able to say, ‘Death, where is your sting?’—Hosea 13:14. I am very sorry for your loss. May God's Word comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl

Betty was a sweet and friendly person and will be missed. my prayers are with the family.
To the Tates and the Johnsons, what a great picture; we loved your mother/grandmother and have missed seeing and visiting with her each Sunday at church during this long illness that finally claimed her for Heaven. You'll all miss her so, but she is healed and that's what gets us through with the knowledge we'll see her and all our precious loved ones who've gone on to Heaven before us. Praying God's peace and strength for you all. Love to you all as well.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our family is praying for peace during this time. We love you Tate family

Sorry for your loss. She was a really sweet lady. I enjoyed visiting with her at Salem. Praying God will surround your family during this time.
My deepest sympathies to the family. I remember her sitting behind the desk in the school office always with a smile on her face and very caring!
