JoAnne Hastings Gray

To the Hastings and Gray families,
May your loving memories fill your hearts with peace and comfort. And although there are no words that can take away your pain, please remember that you are not alone. Psalm 46:1 says, ‘God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress.’ Pray to Him for strength. He will really help you (Isaiah 41:10) because He cares for you (1Peter 5:7). John 11:11, 21-26; Revelation 21:3,4. My heartfelt condolences.

Dan and Joanne were two of the most solid citizens I have ever known,
and I deeply regret that they are no longer with us. I first met Joanne in
Birmingham when we were young kids, and again in l950, when I was at
Lowry AFB, CO, for a year living off-base. My family visited the Grays a
few times during that year, and I cherish those memories. Dan was a
pilot for Continental Airlines and I was an Air Force pilot, and both of
us enjoyed golf. Unfortunately we played only one round together before I I was reassigned to McChord AFB, WA. My wife, Ethel, died in January,
2008, in Montgomery AL, where I retired from the Air Force. I want the
Gray family and Ginny Upton-Hutchison to know that time and distance separated our families for very many years, but I will always remember them and wish them well.

We are sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one. Words don’t always ease the pain when you are grieving the death of a loved one, but we hope you will find hope in Jesus’ promise of the redirection hope (Acts 24:14) when he will rise up tho sleeping in death (John 11:11) restoring them back to life, on the renewed paradise( John 5:28,29; Luke 24:43) what a wonderful blessing to look forward too. Until then, may Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18) grant you peace and comfort during this grievous time. – Matthew 5:4.

I want to express my deepest and most sincere sympathy for your loss! I know that the pain of losing a loved one in death is unlike any other pain we face. That is why the Bible calls death an enemy and says it will be brought to nothing! Jesus’ words at John 5:28,29 have always provided me with so much comfort! He says here, ‘Do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out!’ Yes, we can embrace our loved ones again! I truly hope you can gain some comfort from Jesus’ promise!

To the children, so sorry for your loss. As you remember the times you had with your parents, hope they make you smile.
