My condolences to the Anderson families. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Martha. 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 as 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. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you.
Truly sorry to hear of Martha’s passing, I truly enjoyed knowing the last couple of years at the St John’s church she was caring and friendly lady. She will be greatly missed.
It was truly an honor to know her, Makayla and I loved seeing her in church with her contagious smile. She will be greatly missed and loved. My prayers and condolences go out to the family.
Dearest Anderson Family – We send our love and hugs to each of you as you struggle through this difficult time in your life. We know that it is a painful and sad time for each of you – but please know that we love you and hold you deep within our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. We will continue to pray for your solace and comfort. Martha was a wonderful woman, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, cousin, and a friend to all. She will be sorely missed. Yet, we know that when it is our time to meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, she will be right there welcoming us at the gates of Heaven. Please remember that a small piece of Martha will live on in each of your spirits. “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but are felt within our hearts” —Helen Keller–. Love Scott, Janet, and Melyssa McBryde
Always a good time when Aunt Marty was around. We always looked forward to seeing her. She treated us like one of her own chikdren. We will always remember our visits and fishing trips.A very very special person who will be missed dearly. So glad we had her in our lives.
Dear Mike and family,
John and I wish you all loving strength as you gather to Remember such a sweet wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. I myself will miss the sweet smile of encouragement that she shared with me in Texas W Club. She was a perfect First Lady to Mike as he filled his duties to all of us in the club. God Bless you all and now she is lifted in the palm of “His Hands”.
