Charles, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. I will continue to pray for you and your family. There are no words to ease your pain, so I’m offering a silent prayer that the LORD will draw you near and comfort you in the tender way that only He can at this time.
Mr. Paige, Nevin and family,
You all have my deepest sympathy. Although its been some time since I’ve seen you and Mrs. Paige, our friendship and love for one another has remained intact throughout the years. It’s so rare to meet someone with a such a sweet and humble spirit these days , not to mention, maintain a 20+ year friendship. What such a joy it was to have Mrs. Paige in our (my family too) lives. I will forever remember her quiet, yet humble spirit, her positive attitude, and her beautiful personality . I’m gonna miss hearing her voice. She was truly an angel sent to us from God! She is and will truly be missed! I pray that God will give you peace and comfort through this difficult time. I’m so grateful that our paths crossed.
Love Always,
Renita

Miss Helen and family,
I so very sorry for your loss. I know that you were very close to her and I hope that you will let God walk you through this with his loving arms around you.
To the Family of Mary Paige…
My sincere condolences to each of you… and my prayers and thoughts are with and for you.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted”, Matt. 5:4.
We celebrate Mary’s life and know that each of our lives were enriched by knowing her. May you be comforted in the coming hours. The “appointed time” is not ours, and God keeps His promise to us. We will cherish the many memories Mary left us as a gift. Remember our journey in life will lead all of us “home” one day. God’s blessings to you for strength and peace.

Charles and Family, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mary. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences on your loss. I pray that God will keep you and family in His care and give you peace during this difficult time. 2Corinthians 1:3-4
Mr. Charles Paige and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. We all have to go through loosing a loved one at some point and time. There is a wonderful promise that our heavenly father Jehovah makes to us at Rev. 21:3,4 “And he [Jehovah] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. ”
When Jehovah says something it is done!! No more sufering for mankind, getting sick, growing old, and dying that last enemy. All will be gone, a thing of the past. It is so comforting to know, it really gives us something to look forward to.
May Jehovah be with you during this difficult time.
