A time will come, don’t worry my friend

God promises death he soon will end

No more tears, no pain no more sorrow we’ll see

Were everlasting life and happiness will be.



You can find comfort in God’s words. “He will actually swallow up death

Forever and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears

From their face.” – Isaiah 25:8,9



Please accept my condolences.



Sincerely,

Dave & Paula Barnett
