To the Walton family: I extend my sincere condolences. May you find comfort in the wonderful hope God gives us for the near future. He promises a time when he will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more (Revelation 21:3,4; Isaiah 25:8).
I miss you my sis. Give Mom and Dad and Diana a big hug and kiss for me in heaven. Love you Nene...
So sorry for your loss. Draw close to God and he will draw close to you during this time of sorrow. Jamea 4:8
God did not purpose his human family to suffer death, but purposed us to live and enjoy life. That’s still his purpose (Psalm 37:11, 29). May the family draw comfort from the scriptural promises at Acts 24:15 and Rev 21:3, 4 knowing that God cannot lie (Isaiah 46:10, 11).
I offer my condolences please read 1peter 5:6,7
