Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceWhen you lose someone very precious, no one else can really know all that you feel, except our Heavenly Father, he knows and feel your pain. He calls death an enemy and that it will be removed forever at 1 Corinthians 15:26 "“the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” Job 14:15 shows that our Creator is eager to awaken our love one from death. It says "You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands."What a joy it will be the see our love ones again! I hope these words give you all comfort.
My condolences to the family for your loss. May God strengthen and comfort you with his promise of the resurrection. Acts 24:15
