"I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. There is comfort at Revelation 21:3,4, "And he 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." Soon, losses we sustain of any kind, be it the loss of a loved one or our peace of mind, will be done away with and reversed as if it never happened at all. I hope this promise can carry you through this difficult time and beyond."

"I was able to get to know Kassidy through volunteer work at Suncrest school and my daughter was in both her kindergarten and second grade classes. She struck us both as incredibly kind and fun. Her smile, when it happened, lit up the entire room. We'll remember her for those reasons and for all of the others that made her so amazing. Your family and all of Kassidy's loved ones will remain in our hearts and prayers."
