Dear Family, I offer my deepest condolences for your loss. May the God of compassion provide your family with comfort at this difficult time. (Revelation 21:4, 5) I'm sure that words could never ease the pain and heartache that you are suffering. May God's love touch your hearts with his future promise at Acts 24:15. You're in my prayers.
