  1. Dear Hankins family, I’m so very sorry for your loss and at this difficult time I’d like to express my condolence and deep regrets and share where I found help when this enemy death took my entire family. I found comfort and hope in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John5:28,29 where we’re told we’ll see our love ones again in the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and Isaiah25:8 tells us that this enemy death will be swallowed up forever. These scriptures and others help me cope with my loss and get through each day now that I know I’ll see my family again. I wanted to share this with you hoping this will help you also in some way for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this time of difficulty when hope and comfort is needed. I do hope you’ll let me know at gloriamosley@hotmail.com and please know that I do share your grief and hope to hear from you. Sincerely, GM

  2. sooo sorry for ya’ll’s loss. my daughter and i met this sweet man while i was having chemo last year. we all hit it off right off the bat. we didn’t know him long, but it didn’t take long to learn how precious he was, and not long to love him. praying for all his family and friends, and know he’s up there smiling, out of pain, and watching over all of you…

  3. In reading this I have a sense of where my co-worker Bobby Hankins gets his southern charm, great work ethic and cheerful attitude from. Cherish those great memories as they will live on in your heart. I know how much he will be missed. God bless you!

  4. My condolence to the family: Nahum 1:7 tells us Almighty God is a stronghold in the day of distress and is mindful of those seeking refuge in him (Psalms 65:2): and 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 tells us that He consoles and encourages us in any kind of distress.
