During your time of bereavement, we want to share our condolences for the loss of your loved one.

We have been granted a limited time to be on this earth and by your care and concern, you have demonstrated that the memories you will take forward of your loved one will last throughout eternity.
Know that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Should you feel the need for support please know that our Heavenly Father stands ready to wipe all of your tears away. Weeping may endure for a night but joy will come in the morning.
May God continue to richly bless each of you as you deal with your loss. Our deepest sympathies from the pastor and members of South End Missionary Baptist Church. Be blessed.

Dear family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you as you face such a difficult time. 2 corinthians 1:3,4 helps us to see that God is there for us during our trials and we can come to him for strength to endure our any challenge we might face.

To the Peoples' Family
Some might say that Mrs. Peoples lived a long time and that may be true. Even so death of even someone who lived a long time bring as much sorrow and pain. This is the case because death was not meant to be part of mankind's existence. God created the first man, Adam, to live forever. But he lost that prospect when he rebelled and disobeyed God. By doing so he was sentenced to death along with his wife, Eve, who also disobeyed her Creator. Since they begin to have children after they sinned, the only thing they could pass on to their descendants, us, was sin which leads to death. Happily our kind and loving Father made a provision for us to be relieved of sin and death. That provision proved to be the ransom sacrificed of his most precious and beloved son, Jesus. By means of his death and resurrection, he paved the way for the countless dead in the grave to be brought forth from the dead. This promise is recorded for our comfort in the Bible at John 11:25. When the family feels up to it, please read these encouraging words that provide hope and sustain you as the family cope with the loss of your loved one.

To the families and loved ones of Iona Peoples, who we know will be dearly missed. Almighty God promised at Revelation 21:4 that he will wipe away all our tears. And death, pain, and sorrow will be no more. So you can take great comfort in drawing close to God in prayer. And he will sustain and help support your families to endure. During these difficult times and in the months to come. My deepest condolences to all of your loved ones.
