I would like to express my sincere condolences to the loss of your loved one.In the scriptures Job 14:14,15 and John 5:28, God promises that he will resurrect our loved ones in the near future .I hope that Jehovah , the God of comfort grant you peace.
We have known the Petty family for 20 years. We love each dearly and will miss Sister Joy so much. She was the life of the party.We are sad now but we know she is shouting happy on the other side. God bless the Petty family.
Sis Petty would almost always have a smile on her face. I would tease her about joy being in the house at church and she would try to frown, but that smile would bleed thru every time.
I remember when her and the late Mary Kennedy would get together. You then had laughter in the house.
Our prayers are with the family at this time and we will miss Sister Petty.
Robin Noble and family, I was so sorry to hear that your grandmother passed away. Please extend my sympathy to your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Merinda Kordsmeier
