My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: "God 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.”

To the Johnson Family
We are truly sadden to hear about the passing of Helen Ruth Johnson. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family and friends. I know that the many family members and friends will be there with much love and comfort. God will also provide comforting words to get us through this difficult time in our lives. But He will also do something that is truly remarkable; that is the restoring of life back to those we lost in death. Yes this is a personal promise from God. Ruth had a understanding of the scriptures. Now she, and billions of others will benefit from this loving promise from God. Yes God states that He would call to our departed love ones, and that they would hear His voice and stand up in life again. ( John 5:28-29) Since God is the source of all creative life, the restoring of it back to those who have died is surely something that He can do. Yes He has a desire or yearning to restore life back t our love ones and He will. (Job 14:14-15) In reality, God has given us His personal guarantee that the resurrection to life will take place. So we ask all grieving hearts, do we believe that life will be restored to those who we have lost in death? If we are lacking in faith, we can build up our confidences in this arrangement. Our Creator has preserved nine accounts in the Bible that speaks about this resurrection blessing. Here is just one such account recorded at Acts 9:36-42. Why not allow the reading of this account to provide true comfort to our grieving hearts. Yes please keep this promise of God near your hearts at all times. You will see Helen again, along with billions of others. Remember that we have God's personal promise. Yes it is impossible for God to lie. ( Titus 1:2)

On Sunday, I Co 2:09, became very true for a dear friend. What a glad reunion day it was for the Heavenly Family. The quartet was complete with all three different pianists . Helen is with her Cecil, which she never lost her love for and waited patiently to join. You, as a family and we, as friends have precious memories of a beautiful Lady. May God 's blessings comfort you today.
