Carol Minon, 78, of Phoenix passed on February 18, 2014. Born in Chicago, IL, on January 21, 1936. When she was a teenager, Carol and her family moved to Phoenix where she met her husband, Joe.

I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. God’s words in the Bible give us a future hope. At Isaiah 25:8 God promises to “swallow up death forever” and “wipe the tears from all faces.” He also promises a resurrection for those sleeping in death. (Acts 24:15) May you find comfort from the Bible.
