Our sincere condolences to the family. When our loved ones fall asleep in death, words alone cannot ease the pain of our loss. The Bible helps us to deal with our grief (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). We can also find hope from Jesus words at John 5:28, 29 “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” I hope these scriptures bring comfort and calmness of heart to you during the difficult days ahead.

Sorry for your loss Jean and Amy. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
Jean, so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by so many people. Prayers for you and the family.
