Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I know the pain that death can bring to the heart. It sometimes seems more then we can bear. It is good to go to the Bible in our time of grief. Jehovah said he is near to those who are crushed in spirit, & those who are heart broken.(Ps.3418) Jesus said I am the vine & my Father is the culvator.(John151) What a wonderful gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones again.
My condolences to the family. May you find comfort in knowing that God through Christ will awaken those asleep in death. Job 1414,15 Acts 2415 John chapter 11
Susan and Tim, so sorry to hear of Aunt Lula’s passing. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers today. Allene Davis
