Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Having experienced such a loss I know the feeling of pain and helplessness that accompanies it. Something that comforted our family during such a difficult time was the promise found in the Bible. Revelation 213,4 promises that God will wipe away all tears from their eyes and death will be no more . I truly hope that these words will bring comfort to your family as it did ours.
Our family would like to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mary Engle Griffin. Words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, and death is truly a painful enemy to the human family. Please take comfort in 2 scriptures found in God’s Word the Bible. John 528,29 speaks of the resurrection, and Revelation 213,4 promises the time in the future when death and mourning will be no more. Our prayers are with you.
