I haven’t seen Britt since high school, but the impression
He always left was kindness. He wasn’t mean or arrogant
But was always ready to help.
I wish for his family that God holds them steady and quiets
Their pain, help them stay together and grow stronger as a
Family. Give them hope to see their baby boy again.

I read about Britt’s untimely death after just 33 short years of precious life, I wanted to express my feelings of sympathy for the Amos family. When our loved ones fall asleep in death, the pain and grief seems unbearable. Our loving God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) understands how we feel and he comforts us by means of his word the Bible. Psalm 34: 18 tells us: ‘Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.’ Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Jehovah God promises to destroy this enemy, death, once and for all. Rev. 21: 4; tells us: ‘And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.’ (Isaiah 25: 8, 1 Corinthians 15: 26) God’s kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection (John 5: 28, John 6: 40, John 11:25)
So sorry for your loss. My heartfelt prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
Dearest Marcia,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathy are coming your way. Call me if you need anything. I will be checking in on you.
Much love,
Cheryl Fore
