Obituaries

Dear Family, My heartfelt condolences go out to you for your loss. Many of us can relate to what it feels like to be touched by death. What has helped my family to cope were scriptures such as John 5:28,29; Revelation 21:3,4; 1Peter 5:6,7. Reading and thinking on these scriptures can help to soothe your pain and bring you comfort and strength in the weeks and months to come. Knowing that our loving Heavenly Father understands and cares about what you're going through can be a real source of strength. I pray you will find solace and hope in those scriptures. For more comfort, please go to JW.org. Take good care.

I am saddened by the loss of Julie. I remember her as a youngster and a vibrant smiling young woman. I send hugs and prayers to the Shaffer family. It seems so little but it's meant from my heart. I wish you peace and strength at this time of sorrow and all the days to come.

Julie we met long ago, when we were about 14. You have given me so much laughter. You were were the sweetest friend. Loving mother and wife and it's hard to believe you have gained your wings. I will see you again one day. Thanks for being a great friend to me

To family and friends: Julie is not gone forever; she will be resurrected and you will see her again. In Revelation, our Lord says that when we are resurrected, every tear will be wiped from our eyes and sickness and death will be no more. While waiting for this glorious day, though, Julie will be missed beyond words. You have wonderful memories...hold onto them because in doing so, she will live on in your hearts. May Julie rest in peace until you are reunited and may the Lord comfort you during this time of sadness and grief.

Julia you were an amazing girl. I remember it was like yesterday my dad would pick up us from school and u would come over and we would call and prank people. You always made me laugh. I have many fond memories. I am so glad that within this last year I had an opportunity to come over to your house and just spend sometime with you and your mom. You were and amazing person, friend and mother. I was so saddened to hear this news. I pray for you, your mom, Buddy and your children. You will always be thought of by me. Love you girl. Rest easy and God Bless.
