"My condolences for your loss. Life is short, and those we love are gone too soon from our lives. Isiah 25:8 is heartwarming. "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe the tears from all faces." May the God of loyal love comfort you during your time of sorrow. L.Henry"
"Dear Williams Family: I am so sorry to have read of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses give us a reason for hope as they tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my wish that these thoughts will comfort your family also."
