Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. This is one of the most difficult things we must face in this life. May it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. But the bible assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken in heart and those crushed in spirit he saves. He also promises that we will be able to see our loved ones again. Jesus own words found at John 5:28,29 tells us there will be a resurrection. What a wonderful hope! He also promises that soon on the earth there will be no more pain, suffering and especially death. Revelation 21:3-5 We anxiously await the day when we will no longer lose those we love. May these bible thoughts bring you comfort at this most difficult time.

Ms. Gentry was a very sweet loving woman. She was the dance teacher to my Twin daughters Janell and Abigail. She always had a smile on her face and always made me dance with the kids. I send my deepest sympathy to her family. She will be missed but will live in my heart as this lady with a big smile on her face that was full of energy.
