I'm so sorry for your loss. I'd like to share some real hope with you. In Psalms 14:4 tells the condition of the dead. In Acts 24:15 the bible promises a resurrection of our loved ones back to earth. When Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead, he brought him back to earth. That was a foregleam of the future. In Psalms 37:11+29 says man will live forever on the earth in peace. That was God's original purpose, for man to live forever in the garden of eden. God's purpose hasn't changed. That's why he gave his son to die for us, John 3:1, so we could have everlasting life on earth. In Revelation 21:4 says there'll be no more pain or death. Since there's no pain or death in heaven, those are future conditions on earth under God's kingdom arrangement. JW.org.

Genell was an exceptional person, we have known her since 1995 when I became her AVON manager and she became one of my team leaders. I got to see her earlier this year at the president club luncheon. She will truly be missed by many. Our condolences to the family. May God give you peace that only he can give.
Love Lynn Brown

To The Family Of Sister Genell Ruff,
The bible makes it clear, "that for everything there is a season and time for every purpose under the heaven." I am glad that it was my time to know Sis. Ruff those ladder years. I would see this active A.M.E. sister at all the meetings, never really getting acquainted until a few years ago.
I thank God that we did get acquainted, her serious attitude, rare smiles and knowledge of subject matter was only part of character. She will be missed but I am glad that I had an opportunity to serve with her in that season.
May you take comfort in knowing, "Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal."
