Dear Gail and Mike:

We were sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I know it is difficult when someone very close to us has gone on to eternity and we are left to bear our pain and sorrow. But I pray that your hearts would be comforted by God's promise of being reunited with our loved ones some day when we will be able to rejoice with them once again. I pray that you will be comforted by happy memories of your mom as well.

We will be in prayer for you during this difficult time.

In Christ,

Mary and Bob Elloyan
