To the Doane Family, I would like to extend my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mother. Mrs. Carolyn was a very sweet lady; we laughed and talked every moring at work (Mehfoud Elementary). I will miss her presence along with her smile and laughter. Her presence will be missed. May God continue to comfort you during this difficult time.
The death of a loved one is hard to bear. Please take comfort in knowing that your heavenly father understands your pain as he too experienced the death of his only son, Jesus Christ. Job 14: 14, 15 shows that God yearns to bring your dear loved one back to life. For more information about God’s promises, please visit the website JW.ORG.
