Rest In Peace aunt Millie We Love You Dan @ Pondi
To the Family of Mildred Sanderson . I am very sorry about the loss of your loved one, Mildred . When I was in need of such comfort, someone shared a few scriptures with me and I would like to pass them along to you in hopes you may find some comfort as well. The Bible shows that God did not intend for humans to suffer, grow old or die. (Romans 5;12) He also promises to soon restore earth and humans to his original purpose for them. Then he will resurrect our loved ones on a cleansed paradise earth where we can welcome them back. (John 5:28-29 & Psalms 37:10-11 & 29) Please visit jw.org for satisfying answers from the Bible free of charge. I truly am sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Kristy
Love you Aunt Millie…. hug my daddy for me.
Dear family, I am sorry I am unable to attend the service for Aunt Millie. I have many fond memories of her visits to Aberdeen with Aunt Alma during the 1970s. What a fun pair! Dee Sanderson
