Dear O'Connor family,
My condolences to your family. Life never prepares us for such loss. The Bible reassures us at Revelation 21:3,4, that the God of comfort Jehovah doesn't want us to suffer & die. It's also a wonderful thought at John 5:28,29, where it promises that we will be reunited with our vibrant loved ones in peaceful conditions. I hope these thoughts bring your family some comfort during this difficult time.

My Aunt Larona was a beautiful person with a sincere smile and a wonderful laugh. I always looked forward to seeing her at family gatherings. I hope there was a party at the gates on St. Patrick's Day with Mr. Walter, Uncle Jay and Mary Beth, Bud and Anna O'Connor, and many other deceased family and friends that loved Larona dearly.

I was so sorry to hear of Larona's death...it reminded me of all our wonderful childhood times together and then meeting up again in Venice, Fl. and the good times we had there. Had lost track of her of late but she was a very special person and I send my love and condolences to her family.

Condolences to your family. May you receive comfort from the word of God during this time of loss. Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44. Revelation 21:3,4 promises that one day death, mourning, and outcry will be no more. To find out more regarding the hope for the dead visit JW.org and search "death".

We are so sorry to learn that Larona has died. It was always fun to be with her. What a special family! We lived next door to Emma and Frank and knew Jay from a long time ago. Larona often took Donna to ride the pony that Frank kept in his yard for the grandkids.
We are in Florida or we would have paid our respects at the funeral home.
Our deepest sympathy.

Dear Mike:
I just saw the news of your mother's passing. I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll always remember straining to hear what I was missing downstairs while the Bridge Group laughed and laughed the night away. Warmest regards, Sue Stenger

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
