Raina was a very kind hearted, free spirited person. We've had many conversations at work and one of her happiest moments when the birth of her first niece finally came. Oh, how she was so happy!! It was a pleasure knowing and working with Raina. Raina pressed her way to work even when she did not feel well. But now she has pressed her way towards the mark for the prize of the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus.
She will be and continues to be missed by her co-workers at CSG-Pre-cert Dept.

She's free Praise the Lord she's free. No longer bound, no more chains holding her. Her soul is resting.

To the family of Raina Blackmon
Please accept my sincere condolences. I have taken comfort knowing that God . . . will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain.”—Revelation 21:3, 4
The Bible, however, holds out a much different hope. As we have previously noted, the Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one in the near future, not in an unknown heaven but right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. And at that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again. ‘But surely that is wishful thinking!’ for some may say. For words of encouragement please go to JW.org
Sincerely,
Roberta

I had the pleasure and privilege of being Raina's first grade teacher. I wish Raina's family every comfort and loving condolence at this sad time. Raina was a delightful, brilliant, beautiful girl when I knew her.....I see from the other postings that those same qualities describe Raina throughout her life. We were so lucky to have had her as part of our lives.

Message from C. A.

A loved one lost can grieve the heart and make us yearn for tomorrow when God will keep the promise he made of no more pain, no more death, and no more sorrow.
Revelation 21:4

Message from Mary M.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Raina's family. She was a patient at South Jersey Eye Phys. We loved her beautiful personality and smile. She went out of her way to always come in my office to say hello and we would chat for awhile. Always about her wonderful family. Rest in peace.

To the family of Raina - I am so sorry for your loss. I met Raina through work back in 2008. We spent many mornings caring for newborns in the nursery while talking about Jesus and "girl stuff." Raina shared with me how she was given such a beautiful name. Her smile lit up a room! She never spoke often of her trials in life but chose to try to help others and teach. She was truly a woman who "walked by faith." I will miss you sweet Raina. I know above all that your with our Lord and Savior Jesus and we will rejoice together in Heaven one day. GOD comfort this family.

Life hasn't been the same. Wishing there were more time. Until we meet again. Friends to the end, sisters from other mothers. Rest with your father. Lovingly missing my Raina.

Message from Michele Lahneman

Raina was a light in the darkness. Her laugh could fill a room with her joy. She was one of those few individuals you meet in this world whom are truly sincere in their caring and kindness. She gave of herself selflessly with no thought of a return for her generosity of spirit. She would gladly listen to a friend's struggles and sadness with no hint of her own. Her gift in this life was her incredible empathy for others and her extraordinary ability to offer comfort. She was gentle, kind, and sweet. One of the funniest people I know. The world is a little darker from her loss. I know heaven will benefit from her presence there. The heavenly father must have truly needed her to call her home so soon. I can only find comfort in the sure knowledge that God must have assigned her to a very important task and I know in his infinite mercy he took her quickly and stayed with her through her entire ordeal. I will miss her friendship and her presence in my life. I am glad to know that one day we will meet again in the kingdom of heaven and perhaps share a laugh or two again. No goodbyes dear friend, only a see you later - until we meet again.
