I'm so sorry for your loss! I have lost so many members of my family. Losing loved ones is overwhelmingly painful. One thing that brings me some comfort is what the Bible says at Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." We look to God through Jesus and his Kingdom to do this. My wife and I hope you find comfort as you endure your loss.
Brenda, Sandra and families, we are so sorry about Bennie. Praying for all of you as you go through this. God please comfort you and know that we are here for you, if you need anything, we love you.
Brenda and Sandra, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray God heals your hurt as time goes by. Connie
So sorry, My prayers are with ya'll .
Love you ,
Vicki & family
