P.O. Box 4338 Gary, IN 46404 Roosevelt High School Class of 1967 Alumni Association Resolution To The Family of Mrs. Janice Padgett Mills Be it resolved that the officers and members of the Roosevelt High School Class of 1967 pen these resolutions and desire to place on record, that we express our grief and deepest sympathy to the family of Mrs. Janice Padgett Mills and we bow in humble submission to the will of God and encourage the family to keep on, not in your own strength, but in the power of God’s might. Death is a curse that represents a transition from earth to glory for the believer. Though you feel grief, hurt and a deep sense of loss, there is rejoicing in heaven and we rejoice that your loved one is in God’s presence. So do not grieve as others do, who have no hope. (I Thess 4:13). Our hope is in Jesus, who will one day reunite all those who believe in Him. The hope of a blessed resurrection bringing all who are under the certain, sad sentence of death; for those who have been faithful, life is not ended, but merely changed; and when this earthly abode dissolves, an ETERNAL dwelling place awaits them in Heaven. May Janice rest in peace. Be it also resolved, that we pray for the family’s strength in this period of adjustment in their loss and our hearts reach out to them in words and deeds of encouragement during this time. Tenderly, may time heal your sorrow, Gently, may friends ease the pain, Softly, may peace replace heartache, And may warmest memories remain. Be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be kept in our minutes and a copy be given to the family, as we commend the soul of Mrs. Janice Padgett Mills, to the Panther Den Eternal and enter sympathetically into the sorrows of the bereaved, and bid them hope, through the Master of all life, that they shall see their loved one again, for the last enemy that shall destroy us is death. May it help the family to know that we will continue to pray for you all. Humbly submitted this 19th day of May 2012 Willie Collins & Gloria A.
