Dear Family and Friends of Robert Waddell – Please be comforted by Bible promises at this difficult time. Continue to dwell on the happy memories and fine qualities that you remember about Mr. Waddell. Death and suffering was not part of God’s purpose for mankind. Everything that God created was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Death came to mankind due to Adam’s sin (Genesis 2:17). Because of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice, hope of everlasting life will be restored and death will be done away with (Revelation 21:4). Faith in these Bible promises and looking forward to the joy of again seeing Robert Waddell in perfect conditions hopefully will ease the pain of loss. Meanwhile we have the opportunity to follow Jesus’ instruction to continue to take in Bible knowledge that leads to everlasting life (John 17:3).
On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Bob’s military service to our nation.
My sincere condolences to the Waddell family. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is ‘near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) Our loving Creator has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,
