To the Family of our Niece Paulmeda (especially Sister Phyllis) From your Hoffman Relatives in Oklahoma. We are with you in Spirit and Love. As you prepare to send Paulmeda on her journey, always remember that we will see her again, because Maheo promised us that he would wipe all tears from our eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Love and Prayers to all of you. 💘

R'Gracious Stevenson says
I offer my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Mrs. Palmeda Fisher. I wanted to share with you a wonderful hope for our future, that has brought me comfort many times. That hope is found in Jehovah God’s word the Bible it helps us to cope with the present, overcome the past and to give us something to strive for so we can walk with determination toward the future. In Isaiah 65:21-23 it says “They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full. They will not toil for nothing, Nor will they bear children for distress…” what a contrast to what we see in the world, can you imagine a time when we will all have everything we need to live? That hope is real. But why live in a perfect world if there is still death? Again the bible answers in Reveation 21:3, 4 it says “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Everyone who has died will be resurrected to a paradise earth and they won’t ever die again, and we will be able to be there with them!
