Dear Sharon and Larry,
I was so surprised and sad to hear that your dad had passed away! He seemed to be such a good man! I wish I had had time to know him better.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Please stay in touch!

I am sorry for the death of your dear loved one. The Bible teaches that soon our loved ones will be reunited with us again by means of the resurrection hope in which millions will live again without growing old, getting sick and dying.-Job 33:24;Isaiah 33:24;Revelation 21:4. Jehovah and His son Jesus have promised us this hope.
I will dearly miss this kind man. Rest in peace, Sherman.
