Condolences
Add Your OwnWe are so sorry to hear about W.J. We knew him when he was in high school and his family lived on Hardy St. in Dothan. Renda lived on Hardy St. and I lived on Headland Ave. W.J. was a very nice young man with a great smile. We all attended a lot of the youth activities at Curtis Memorial Methodist Church together.
May it help comfort you to know that old friends still have fond memories of W.J.
Sincerely,

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
Dear Bell Family,
I am writing to extend my condolences. Mere words cannot convey the feelings of disbelief and sorrow that result from losing someone you dearly love. Please do not dismay, for God has a purpose for those who are sleeping in death.
In the book of John 5:28, 29 Jesus says, All in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. Yes, your dear loved one will live again, so don’t think of your loss as permanent. Also, Ecclesiastes 9:5 says that, the dead are conscious of nothing at all. How comforting to know that our dear loved ones are not suffering!
It is my sincere hope that you get a great measure of comfort from the Holy Scriptures.
