Entry: I am sorry for your loss. I do not know your family, but death affects us all. Many wonder if there is any hope for the dead. We question this because we want to live and we want to enjoy live with those we love. It is only natural that we yearn to see our dead loved ones again. The Bible teaches that most people who have died will be resurrected. Jesus promised that "those in the memorial tombs will...come out." John 5:28,29 In harmony with God's original purpose, those resurrected humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. Luke 23:43 This pormised future includes perfect health and everlasting live for obedient mankind. The Bible says: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth and they will reside forever upon it." Psalm 37:29 I hope these brief passages will bring some comfort to your family.

Entry: To the Blythe Family,
I extend to Mr. Blythe and his family my sincere condolences in your loss. I met Mrs. Blythe when she was a patient on the 6 Tower Medical Unit-the unit I work on. She was a very delightful and plesant person to care for. She was very comical during the time I cared for her and expresed for love for animals. The saying goes that "first impressions are lasting impressions." I only knew her for about twelve hours, but in those brief hours she left a great impression on me.
I now pray that the fond memories of Mrs. Blythe will sustain you all at this time.
