Felix, Beverly will surely be missed by many. However we can rejoice because she is now rejoicing with our Lord. We will be praying for you and the family. Much love. The Falls, Emerson, Shirley, Shear, and RC.
To Mrs. Juan’s family, I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s my hope that you can draw comfort and strength from Jehovah God’s promises in the Bible at Revelation 21: 3, 4 and John 5: 28, 29 that there will soon be a time when there will be no more death, and we will see our dead loved ones again. Please accept my deepest condolences.
