My deepest sympathy the family. I know that this is a difficult time for you because death is never easy. But the Bible offers comfort and hope now and for the future. Rev.21:3,4 Jehovah God say that He will wipe every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. John 11:25,26 Jesus said that he is the resurrection and the life. Pslm. 37:11 the meek ones will possess the earth. I hope that you find comfort in these scriptures as I have.

Nena, you will be missed by everyone that knew you. You were a very kind and sweet person that was loved by all.
We will miss you at our "cousins" reunions and at Old Folks Singing. We loved you.

We are so sorry for your loss. I know your Aunt Nena was special to you! Even though it is a relief that she is not suffering any more, I'm sure she will be missed!
