Dear family of Mr. Oliver: Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on the loss of you’re dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all of us, and when it touches us personally, it’s sometimes difficult to find the comfort that we search for. Our Heavenly Father feels empathy for those who have felt the sting of death, and therefore promises to eliminate pain, sorrow and death. (Please read Revelation 21:4) Jesus gave even more reason for hope at John 5:28,29 where he explains: ‘…all those in the memorial tombs…will come out…’ As you read the above texts in you’re Bible, may the wonderful hope they give us, along with loving memories, bring you a measure of comfort, during this most difficult time. Sincerely: David Cowles
