Condolence: Dear Downey Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the family and friends of Barbara. We will never get used to losing our loved ones in death because as Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, we were created with everlasting life in view. But may you find comfort in knowing that Almighty God has promised that soon he will swallow up death forever along with the pain that it brings. (Isaiah 25:8) God has also promised that he will return Barbara to you as it says at John 5:28,29 and also Psalms 37:29. You can also learn more about what happens when a loved one dies at JW.org. Sincerely, Susan

Condolence: Veronica, sionnan, vania, Sky, Love you guys very much. This was all so sudden, and I’m so sorry. Veronica I think our moms are dancing, laughing, and having a lovely time in heaven. I know that your mom is by your side at all times. Her love for you was fierce, as was yours for her. You amazed me at times on the pure love and sacrifice that you gave your mom. Love you to the moon and back. Eileen, Jeff, Aiden, grace, and Cashlin.

Condolence: Mommy, I just got back from your funeral. It was a beautiful service, down to every single flower and even the beautiful periwinkle casket. You were and are deeply loved and I am honored to have you as my mom. From now until the day I pass, I will hold you with me always. I can't wait to see you again someday, but until then I will carry you inside with me. I was very lucky, and I know this. As much as I wish we could have had longer, I know that you have taught me everything I need to know to live life, even if it isn't with you right by my side physically. I honor and cherish every moment we had together and will see you on the Sundial when it's my time. Thank you Mom, for giving me life, for loving me, for shaping me into the person I am today. I love you more than any words can ever describe and look forward to the day we are reunited. Rest In Peace my beautiful angel mother. You are and will always be loved more than you know.
