    May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you reflect on a life well lived. We will soon reap the blessings of Jesus’ sacrificial death. (John 3:16) Soon, our loved ones will live again on peaceful new world. Growing old and death will be no more (Acts 24:15; Revelation 21:3, 4; Psalm 37:11) Please feel welcome to visit one of our local Christian congregation of Jehovah’s witnesses in your area, and/ or visit our website for more practical and encouraging Bible answers, (jw.org).

    Marge was a great lady. She loved to give me a hard time every time I met her and joke with me. I will miss that. But I will also have GREAT memories of her. Sympathy to the family and friends.
