To The family,
I'm very sorry to have read in the obituaries that your family has experienced the pain of losing a loved one in death. During this time of mourning, I would like to express my sincere condolence at the loss of your loved one and I pray everything is going as well as can be expected. With sincere sympathy to the family may these understanding thoughts help somehow to convey the sympathy that hearts can feel but words can never say. Precious in the eyes of God is the death of his loyal ones. Psalms 116:15.
May God comfort you at this time of sorrow and bless you through the days ahead.
