Condolences

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your dear loved one. The time spent with them always seems so short. Please find comfort in the promise from God that he will resurrect our loved ones, John 5:28. The bible also says that "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." Psalms 34:18. My prayers are with you and your family, Sandy
