Thoughts and prayers for the family at this time of grief and sorrow. I had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Wanda while she was at Gilmer Care. Such a pleasant woman, with a smile that would warm anyones heart. She was kind and the love she showed was remarkable.
We lift you up in our prayers to the God of love and comfort. Wanda was a special person who loved God and had a wonderful smile for everyone.
Dear Boen family,
Please accept my condolence and deep regrets for your loss at this difficult and painful time for I lost my entire family to this enemy death and would like to share where I found hope and comfort at that time. I found this in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John5:28,29 for there it tells us we'll see our love ones again at the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and we're also told at ICorinthians15:54 that this enemy death will be gone forever. With these scriptures and jw.org I'm able to cope with my loss and get through each day. I wanted to share this with you now when comfort and hope is needed hoping that this will help you also for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this time and please know that I do share your grief and hope you'll feel free to let me know if this help you also for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this and please know that I do share your grief and hope you'll feel free to let me know if this helped in some way. I hope to hear from you. Sincerely, GM
