I have so many fond memories of service with both Brother and Sister Yili. Brother Yili will be missed. What a beautiful memorial service for Brother Yili, I so enjoyed the experiences shared and look forward to that perfect world where there will be no more tears, pain, death. What a smile he will have when he returns. My prayers are with all of the family. Even though we know there is the hope of seeing our loved ones again, we still experience the pain of not having them with us now. Love you all!

Dear Dolores and family, Just as Jesus felt pain of heart when a loved one passes we do also. Only Jehovah can permanently bring us relief and joy in his new system. Hang onto our hope as each day passes more swiftly now than ever before. We love you very much, Tim and Marsha Elsden
