Dear Diaz Family
We morn the death of our love ones but we know that Jehovah God did not mean for us to die, he has put life eternal into our hearts (Ecclesiastes3:11). Jehovah God has made provisions for many to be able to live again. This was something that Dora believed.(John5:28,29). Treasure the memories and stride to continue to serve Jehovah, so that YOU may be in that paradise that the bible speaks of. Dora was faithful to the end, may her family and friends find encouragement in the life that Dora lived and stride to imitate Jesus just as she did. By doing this we can find comfort now and in the future. May Jehovah continue to bless all of you during this time of bereavement.

Our hearts have another empty spot as we have loss this precious lady. We will remember her smile, cooking, laughter, and her love. Her visits to this Florida family, will now be our cherished memories. As our families morn both her and Brian’s passing, we will honor them in caring for each other during this difficult time. As her great granddaughter Haili stated, my Nana and Daddy are hand in hand and have no more pain. May our God, help us all to cope with our pain, knowing that we will see them in the sweet bye and bye.

Frank & Jackie-It was a pleasure to get to know Dora. I am sorry it was for just so short of a time. She will not be forgotten. If there is anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to call. We are all thinking of you.
