My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Evelyn Standing Elk-Two Bulls- I am sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in many beautiful memories of Mrs. Standing Elk-Two Bulls at this difficult time. The Bible tells us that it was never the Creator’s purpose for humans to suffer and die (Romans 5:12). His word also gives us hope that soon the Creator will end all pain, suffering, and death. (Revelation 21:4) The promise of Paradise, the perfect conditions God originally intended for mankind in the Garden of Eden will include God’s “will being done as in Heaven also upon Earth” (Matthew 6:9, 10). Please continue to be comforted by the many promises of a hopeful future in the Bible. (John 17:3).
