I am sorry to learn that Mrs. Schumitsch had passed. The loss of a loved one is extremely painful. I'd like to share scripture that may bring comfort and hope to your family. Mark 5:35-43 reads in part...While Jesus was speaking, he overheard men telling an officer of the synagogue that his daughter had died. Upon hearing this, Jesus, Peter, James and John, the brother of James, went alone to the officer's home. When they arrived, Jesus went to the deceased child and told her to get up. Immediately, she got up. You see, Jehovah promises a resurrection of our loved ones. (Acts 24:15) We must have faith in this promise. To help strengthen our faith in His promise, please also read Isaiah 55:11 and Isaiah 25:8.
Doris. I will sure miss seeing you every day walking around Walmart and then coming by me to check out with your Honey. We always had to have a laugh or two. I hope someday when i come to heaven i will see you again and we will have a little chat and laugh together. God Bless You and may you sing with all the Angels in Heaven. R.I.P.
