” I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, will award to me on that day- and not only me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing.”
AJ says
I am so sorry for your loss. No words can take away the pain of losing a loved one, but please know that God is with you during this difficult time… I hope it brings you some comfort knowing that your beloved Elizabeth is in a deep sleep, in peace (1 Thessalonians 4:13,14).
Please trust in God’s promise, that we will not be going through this forever; suffering, getting sick, growing old, and dying. There is a hope that God has promised us! Revelation 21:3,4
J. Flowers says
Dear family and friends, I’m very sorry for your loss. Many of us have experienced the death of a loved one. But in the near future this too will have passed away. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 it says “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” Yes, God will completely remove death, forever. I hope this scripture brings you comfort.
Renae Bartlett says
Prayers of peace during your time of grief.

Elizabeth was indeed a special woman. She was the nurse for Dr. Petersen years ago, and we became friends with her. She visited our home many times. My mother loved her dearly.
Cindi Zahniser says
My sympathy to Harris family. I fondly recall the time, as a child, spent at your home. It is a blessing to know she is the Lord’s.
Romans 14:8
For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
Perry and Wendy Kolbo says
Our hearts go out to the family of Elizabeth. We are friends to her children and we knew
her. She always treated us kindly. She will be missed. There is always place with the Lord
for the mother of our friends.

John, I know how well you took care of your mom; I remember some of your stories from the last time I saw you at the DMV a couple of summers ago. I will send a prayer up for you and your family. Take care, John.
