I’m so sorry to hear of your family’s lost, although I didn’t personally know Mrs. Varela, I do unfortunately like many know what’s it’s like to lose a loved one. We all look forward to the day when Isaiah 33:24 is fulfilled “And no resident will say “I am sick.†May you all find peace in the God of all comfort in His words at Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.â€
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless you all
