To The Family,

Words are simply inadequate to express one's feelings during difficult times. Remember God knows what you are going through. Find comfort in him. He will see you through. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

To Jackie & the rest of the family,

I know your heart is very heavy at this time of sorrow, because I too have lost both of my parents. When you see them suffering so long and there is nothing you can do for them, it is a relief when they go to sleep in death and there is no more suffering. We live with happy memories and know that Jehovah through his son, Jesus Christ has made a way that we can see them again in the resurrection.
My heart is with you,
Louise
