You are near , even if I don't see you. You are with me, even if you are far away. You are in my heart, in my thoughts, in my life always. Mr. Roger Wayne Strickland, 76, of Rocky Mount, NC, entered into eternal rest on Monday Read Obituary
I am sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials" sustain you during this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4
My condolences to the Strickland families. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up". And the Bible also says "The righteous themselves will possess the earth and they will forever reside upon it". Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering.
