My deepest sympathy during such a trying time. Death was not a part of God's original purpose for mankind. At John 5:28,29 those resting in the memorial tomb of God's memory will be awakened in the resurrection. As you reflect on these promises I pray you find needed comfort among family and friends.

I did not know Ms. Washington very well, but I have known her daughter Joan Dixon since the early 80's. I know she had to be a very sweet person to have raised a daughter so caring, sweet & thoughtful. My condolences and prayers are with the family. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
