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.” (Revelation 21:4) This prophecy tells us that one day we will see our dead loved ones again in a new world! Please seek Jehovah God to see his promises fulfilled.....

Dear John, Andrea and families,
We were so sad to learn on Friday of Joyce's passing. You have been and will continue to be in our prayers. She will be remembered for her bright smile and warm personality. She was always willing to serve and help others. May her memory live on in the hearts of her family and friends and may her servant heart spur us on to better serve others and spread the light and love of Christ. May God envelop you all in His perfect love, strength and peace as you continue on your earthly journey without Joyce.
Love in Christ,
Cindy and Charlie Fuller

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (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. The former things have passed away".

I am so sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought me comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.

"Please accept this small token of sympathy as you mourn the passing of Mrs. Owens, you are in my prayers for peace from God for comfort at this time. May His Word give you the strength to weather this storm we all face at some point in our lives. His Word, at Isaiah 33:24, 1 Thessalonians 4:14, and Revelation 21:4, are just some examples of passages I have found that give me hope when I suffer a loss."

We just moved into the neighborhood this past year. When I met Joyce for the first time, right away I felt the joy and love in her voice! Even when she didn't feel well she had a happy spirit that glowed. May the peace be with her sweet husband John & family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you John and your entire family. Joyce was just a first class lady who to my knowledge never met a stranger. I remember moving into the neighborhood and as we were moving furniture etc. we had a knock at the door and it was y'all with fresh baked cookies welcoming us to the neighborhood! I will always remember her kindness and caring heart and the love she had for life.
