My sincere condolences to the family of Loretta Brady Bell – May you find comfort in your loving memories, beautiful pictures and in recalling the many talents of Mrs. Bell . God did not purpose that mankind suffer and die and has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24) Our loving Creator has promised that soon pain and death with be no more (Revelation 21:4). The promise of Paradise, the perfect conditions God originally intended for mankind in the Garden of Eden, will be fulfilled including God’s “will being done as in Heaven also up on Earth” (Matt 6:9, 10). Please be comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
