To The Family,
Please accept my condolence. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. I hope that you are able to draw comfort from the scriptures during this difficult time. One of my favorite text says, “If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.” (Job 14:14, 15).
