Tessie: You have my deepest Sympathy
Love Is Stronger Than Death
Love is stronger than death.
So I must be content to know that
love is not affected by death--
it doesn't end, it doesn't diminish,
it doesn't change.
Instead, love is immortalized
and eternalized through death.
And the possibility of that love ever
being damaged or broken
is eliminated forever.
I'll put my trust in love.

Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Hello Tessa,
I already signed this guest book, but thought that I could say something more encouraging having seen that you have a background in the Christian faith. I hope this will have the right words for you in the time need to comfort you when this new situation overwhelms you.
2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:31, 37-39: 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 11:26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
And if not separated from the love of Christ nor are you separated from the love of your husband who is now with Christ.
Hebrews 13:5 God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I know at this time God’s good plans and love for you are probably called into question for allowing this tragedy to happen. However I myself always test these verses by hindsight, and have always found them true. I hope you will stay faithful to God, and I will guarantee that sometime down the road of your life you will look around and see the good to come out of this tragedy.
As I said I hope this will be a comfort and encouragement for you.
Sincerely,
Eric Blackden##imported-begin##Eric Blackden##imported-end##
Tessie and family - Our intention was to make it to the services, but unfortunately we didn't make it. As I was getting dressed to go this morning, my thoughts were sad and I once again thought of your family and the unexpected loss of your spouse and father so fast and way too soon. Our hope is that as your memories and thoughts are shared in the future they will bring you comfort and some smiles mingled with the tears as you think of the special guy that shared your lives.##imported-begin##John and Linda Adolphson##imported-end##

We will miss you dearly, you were like a brother and a good freind. Thank you for being there for me when I needed you and Tessie. We will never forget you and the good times our families and freinds have had.

I am sorry I never got to know Chris Rios's family but he was a good friend to me when we served in the same unit at Ft Lewis & Bliss. It saddens me to hear he is gone.##imported-begin##Eric Blackden##imported-end##
Chris, I never thought i'd be signing your obituary guest book. You weren't suppose to leave this world so young but I guess our Heavenly Father had other plans for you. You will never be forgotten. I LOVE YOU! Your sis-in-law Kristyna aka PORKCHOP.##imported-begin##Kristyna##imported-end##
