Please allow me to offer my condolences to the family with these comforting words based on Revelation 21:3-5: "Look!The tent of God is with mankind...and God himself will be with them and he will wipe out every tear from there eyes and death will be no more neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. " I hope this scripture bring you some comfort during this painful time.
Sincerely,
Ellie

May I offer my sincere condolences for your loss. May your hearts find comfort in God's Word where it states: "He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will wipe the tears from all faces" (Isaiah 25:8). Almighty God promises to awaken our loved ones to a world of true peace with no sickness (Isaiah 33:24), and no more troubles (Revelation 21:4) throughout eternity (Psalm 37:29). May your hearts find comfort and hope in God’s promises and for more comfort, please visit jw.org.

Things I learned from my Momma -
Patience - My favorite childhood memory is going to the beach as a family when we were kids. Momma walking down the beach with me and taking me into the water to jump the waves. She never asked me if I was ready yet or done, she just kept lifting me over the waves until I was tired and ready to go.
Perseverance - one of the marathons I ran, I had an asthma attack about mile 20 or so, they announced at the finish line that someone had an asthma attack, but said they were going to finish anyway. Momma looked at my husband Chet and said, well that has got to be Cyndi. Even though I was the last to cross the finish line before they closed the race, she waited for me and cheered as I ran across the finish line. Momma knew I wouldn't quit, she had taught me that.
Getting the job done _ One of my chores as a child was washing the dishes, drying and putting them away. One day there was a pan that really needed a lot of scrubbing, but I wanted to go play, so I hid the pan in the dryer and went on my merry way. A few minutes later Momma came to find me, took me home and had me finish the dishes; to this day, I always finish the dishes.
On being a good Momma - Momma pretty much always worked full-time plus, but she always made time for us kids, from going on field trips with my class, to taking the time to make candied apples at Halloween with me, throwing birthday parties for Linda and Jamie when they were young.
My Momma and I did not have a lot in common, but I knew she loved me, even if she didn't understand me. I enjoyed Momma's company, our favorite thing to do the past few years was going to lunch and laughing until our stomachs hurt.
