To Minnie May's family,
I never saw your mother without a kind, sweet smile. She was without doubt one of the sweetest women around. As far back as I can remember whenever I saw Minnie she made me feel like she was so happy to see me. I know you all will miss her terribly. My prayers are for you, for I know Minnie is residing in glory at this moment.
Love and sympathy,
Sue

Ya'll have been a part of my life since we were kids and I treasure the memories. You were so blessed to have a Max and Minnie Mae as parents and the Millers were blessed when ya'll moved down behind us to become our neighbors and ball playing partners! I know that you are going to miss her but hang on to the wonderful promises of our Lord Jesus who has prepared a place for His children for FOREVER--no more death, no more partings! This life is just so short. I wish that I could be there but my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face such a loss. May God surround you with His love and comfort.
Love you all,
Shirley.

To the Kimmer Family:
You dont know me but I wish to extend my condolences to the family. We all are kindred in the loss of a loved one and all need compassion and encouragement. I found a few encouraging scripturesI would like to share. Two scriptures are found at Revelations 21:3,4 showing that God will wipe tears from all faces and death and pain will be no more. Isaiah 65:22 encourages us by stating "they shall not build and another inhabit,they will not plant and another eat, for as the days of a tree are the days of my people and my elect shall long enjoy the works of their hands". Well, "no one can even live as long as the long life sequoia tree, how is this possible. No we cannot, so this has a future fulfilment
Our redeemer, God' son, has promised us resurrection, and I look forward to seeing my loved ones resurrected to live forever. May the God of all comfort keep you in his love.
