May I offer my sincere condolences. May your hearts find comfort in God’s Word where it states: ‘He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will wipe the tears from all faces.’ (Isaiah 25:8) May your loved one awaken to a world where there will be peace, no sickness (Isaiah 33:24), and no more troubles (Revelation 21:4) throughout eternity (Psalm 37:29). May your hearts find comfort and hope in God’s Word, family, friends and good memories at this time. My deepest sympathy to you.
