To The Family;
My deepest sympathy to all. "If a man die, shall he live again"?, asked the man Job long ago. (Job 14:14 KJV) We have God's assurance of it at Isaiah 26:19. Titus 1:2 tells us God cannot lie, unlike humans, we can fully trust God to carry out his word.
Mrs. Weeks , a C.N.A.

Dear family:
I am deeply sorry for your loss. "God is for us a refuge and a strength, a help that can readily be found during distresses." Psalms 46:1
