Dear Family and Friends of Lydia Waldow – Please be comforted by Bible promises at this difficult time. Continue to dwell on the happy memories and fine qualities that you remember about Mrs. Waldow. Death and suffering was not part of God’s original purpose for mankind. Everything that God created was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Death came to mankind due to Adam’s sin (Genesis 2:17). Because of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice, hope of everlasting life was restored and death will be done away with (Revelation 21:4). Faith in Bible promises and looking forward to the joy of seeing Mrs. Waldow in perfect conditions hopefully will ease the pain of loss.

Dear Linda and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of your mother and all the time I spent in your home on Pearl Street. Your mother always kept your home and garden immaculate and it never changed over the years. When I visit Miles City, I always drive past that yellow house with the red trim and think of you and your family.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, Dona
