My sympathies to the Meece family. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s no way to really describe the pain one feels when he or she loses a loved one in death. Feelings of sadness and grief can be so overwhelming during this time of mourning. However, comfort from the scriptures can give you hope. John 5:28,29 speaks of the promise of the resurrection hope. What this can mean for your family is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones at a time when ‘death will be no more.’ (Revelation 21:4) May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you for comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies for each and everyone of Arvel’s family. It’s hard to understand why so many of one family was taken so close together but God has a plan and we must all trust in him. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that we will see them all again one day in heaven. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God’s peace guard your hearts and His love give you security for your souls. Arvel was the uncle I remember most from my youth.
