So very, very sorry to hear of Delores' passing. We shared a lot of wonderful, fun, good times at summer Church Youth Camp in Falling Waters , W.VA. A lot of Jesus, crushes on boys, and french fries. Delores was the first person to introduce me to mayonnaise/mustard together on a sandwich! Delores, her mom and my mom are having a grand time catching up. We'll be seeing her again, for sure, whole and well. Love to the family, Tami

My condolences to the Burkins families. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of dear Delores. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up". And the Bible also says "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it". Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering.

Almighty God promises a resurrection of our loved ones at John 11:24-44 and in the last book of the Bible Revelation 21:4,it say that "he (God) will wipe away all our tears. And death...... 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 to loss of your precious beloved Delores, during these difficult times. My deepest condolences to all of your loved ones
