Mr. Satchell (Wayne),
I just received word on yesterday that your father Mr. George B. Satchell had passed back in January. At this particular time, I would like to express my deepest sympathy, and also extend my condolences to you, your wife, daughter and other members of your family.
May God's devine love and grace which is sufficient keep each of you during this difficult time. Having to deal with this again, within a short peorid of time is something that most of us wouldn't understand, however, I know that God is all too wise to make a mistake, and he will carry you through this because he reminds us in his word that we can overcome because he overcame. He won't put more on you than you can bear.
I will continue to keep you and each member of your family in my thoughts and prayers. Today, I pray that God will grant each of you courage, faith and strength in the days, weeks, and months to come.
Remember: II Corinthians reminds us of the following: "For we know that if our earthly house of this earthy tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Family, hang in there and look to Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith.
