I just wanted to leave my condolences and a comforting scripture. John 5:28 reads- '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 speaks of a resurrection of our dead loved ones. I know you don't know me but you and the family will be in my prayers.
The sufferring and death we see today is not part of God's purpose for humankind. When you get a chance visit http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/our-suffering/. This site brought me comfort during my hard time.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Cheryl. She was a friend regardless of the time away for each other. Cheryl started me on my journey with ADM some 29 years ago, where the first 7 years was under her leadership. My 2nd born son, she opened her home to shower me and my husband with gifts and love. I will be forever grateful to her. Though I am sad that she is gone, I am happy that Cheryl is no longer suffering with pain. I am sure she is in heaven arranging things down to the last detail. Robing the angels in the latest and most sophisticated attire, with their halos sitting just right (smile). To the family, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

I had the priviledge of of meeting Cheryl when she came in the furniture store I worked. We did alot of laughing but got all the furniture and accesories she needed for ADM. Luckily, we had alot of the same taste. What a classy lady who was so proud of her family. In fact, her daughter- in- law, Susan, worked with me and Cheryl and I discussed what a cute couple she and Darren would make. I am sorry I won't be able to attend the services as I had recent surgery. May God wrap his arms around you all and give you the comfort you need at this time.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Carol Doolin
