Dearest Black Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved one. Be forever encouraged in the word of God including his promises toward his children. Jeremiah 29:11 says I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, they are plans of good and not evil to give you a future and a hope. God's plan is always bigger than what we see with the natural eye.
Our prayers are for you to be strengthened in your time of mourn.
