Dear family,
My condolences to you, and I hope that these Bible promises will help you endure the loss of Lloyd, for Jehovah is the God of all comfort. “Do not be anxious…..but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:4; 2 Corinthians 1:3-4; Philippians 4:6-7 NWT. And in the future, sickness will be gone forever from the earth. “No resident will say: “I am sick.” Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:3, 4 NWT. Peace, and many happy memories of Lloyd be with you.
To the family of Lloyd Parker. I wanted to express my sympathy for your loss and give you hope for the future. According to the Bible, you will see Lloyd again. Please read the following scripture in your own copy of the Bible. It highlights that the soon God will remove death forever from mankind. And restore the earth to paradise conditions under the rule of God’s Kingdom. Its ruler will be Jesus Christ. Once again there will be peace and righteous conditions between man and animals. In the meantime, your loved one is resting till the resurrection.
Revelations 21: 3-4 3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I hope this message has given you comfort. If you find this messages appealing, you can read more information about the Bible’s promises online at jw.org.

Mother and daddy had such fond memories of Lloyd and Sarah coming to their house and them having such great memories. They stopped coming when Sarah got sick but daddy so enjoyed their times together. I still have a paper written by Sarah showing genealogy but even though tit was not exactly right she put a lot of effort in it. Sarah had picture of Palestine Cemetery from long ago and that picture had the church on the ground years ago at Palestine Cemetery. Since I lived next door to the cemetery for 18 years of my life I would love to have a copy of that picture and Sarah was the only one who had it. I took mama and daddy to their house in Raytown once and Lloyd and Sarah were forever the great hosts and they had so much to talk about.
I remember them well and my thoughts and prayers are for all you kids. I did not know about you all until too late and it is such a shame that ll that time passed without knowing or talking to one another. I just saw this on the Palestine Cemetery page and wanted to comment. I am so sorry for your loss but they are now together and I know that Lloyd was lost without Sarah. May God Bless you all!! My Mother and Daddy were James and Anna Hill.
