Joe & Melissa
Deepest sympathies to you & your family’s loss. Prayers for your family at this difficult time.
My dear brother’s family, I wanted to be there in your time of grief but distance and lack of time prevented it. My prayers are for you to find comfort in knowing that Joe is at rest and no longer tortured by his illness. Please look forward to the day when as Revelation 21:4 says – and he (Jehovah God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things have passed away.
Joe and family,
So sorry for your loss. Always a friendly exchange whenever we would run in to your dad. He will be missed.
Dear Pat, we send our friendship, love, and prayers for for the comfort and peace that only our living Father God can provide through your grief.
We always enjoyed our chats at the VFW.
