I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR LOSS OF YOUR FATHER FROM YOUR COUSIN BUBBIE DANIEL IVORY
We at Warren’s Lounge send our deepest condolences and love to the Reed family in this time of heartache. Corye was not JUST a customer, he was family to us. He will be greatly missed by our staff and other patrons of Warren’s Lounge. When I say this guy had a smile that made you smile back…we were always happy to see him, no matter how long we went without seeing him. He always spoke fondly of his wife and children and was a gentleman and at all times. He was meant to bless us with his humility to show us who we should be to one another in our community so we in turn would pass that lesson on. Corye you will always be in our hearts.
Dear Reed Family: I am deeply sorry for your loss of your rfather. Right now it feels like you have received a punch in the gut that has taken your breath away. There are no words that can take the pain away or stop your grief….tears and grief are an intrical part of the healing process. It will take some time, but you will learn to breath again, and eventually start to enjoy life again. You might be asking: “Why did Corye have to die?” The answer: Because of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve. You see, we were never meant to die. The Holy Bible makes this clear. At Genesis 2:16, 17. Adam was given the command by Almighty God not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad. If he ate from it, he would receive the death penalty. Adam had no reason to even touch that particular tree, there was no shortage of food in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9). But with the temptation of the serpent, (Genesis 3:1-6) who was in reality Satan, “the original serpent” (Revelation 12:9) Adam and his wife Eve did eat from the tree, they died and we, as their descendants also die…they could not give us something they no longer possessed. We inherited every kind of sickness, disease and death because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Yes, their diobedience has long term consequences that affect even us today (Genesis 3:17-19)….. That is why the “Son of God was made manifest, to break up the works of the Devil” (1John 3:8). Jesus Christ came to earth to buy back for us what Adam and Eve threw away by disobeying God. Jesus Christ will permanently break up the works of the Devil when he returns our loved ones to us by means of the promised resurrection of the dead. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29; John 6:40). We will then live on a beautifully restored earth where there will never be another father taken away from his family (Psalms 37:11, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4; Isaiah 33:24; Isaiah 35:5, 6).
Please accept this sincere note of sympathy regarding the passing of your beloved, Corye. I’m sure that he will be missed by all who knew and loved him. May the ‘God of All comfort’ embrace you and bring to your mind joyful memories of Corye. I won’t pretend to know what you’re going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love, is turning to the scriptures and reflecting on God’s promise of the resurrection, something that has been a real source of comfort. Scriptures that give me hope are: John 5:28,29, John 6:40, Psalms 37:29, and Revelation 21:4. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see Corye again alive on Earth in perfect health and in peaceful conditions? I warmly invite you to visit jw.org to find even more comfort from God’s word. Best wishes to your family.
