Condolence: My thoughts and prayer are with you all. My memories of your Mom and Grandma and grandpa are so vivid, I still remember going to the house of your Grandparents in Houston with my Mom and Dad and siblings. We played outside, my parents picked okra and watermelons that were grown In their gardens . My Mom always said the Evelyn was a natural mother, she carried my brother around long before she had children’s her own and took care of him as I am sure she took care of each of you. Now time has pasted so quickly and our parents are gone to a better place. Let you memories live on in your 💜 heart. God bless you all.

Condolence: My condolences to the Barnes family during this difficult time. In the Bible, Jehovah God gives us hope. Acts 24:15 says, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Revelation 21:4 says, “and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more.” Very soon we will see the fulfillment of these promises here on Earth.

Condolence: My condolences to the Barnes families. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of dear Evelyn. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up". And the Bible also says "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it". Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering. For more encouraging thoughts, please visit jw.org
