To the family:
I know you all are mourning right now, and justly so. I pray that this time will be conclusive and short. That you will have a peace when the storm is most violent. Trust in the Lord and he will give you strength.

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me."
(Psalm 23)

May His grace cover your home with an outstanding protection and bind you all closer together in love.

Felicia: My dear, as I search for the words to say, I find myself trying to explain the hurt you feel. Except, there is no explanation. I encourage you to let God explain, with time perhaps, that there is a season for everything. You can not know right now that this season of loss and of sorrow may very well be the exact preparation you need to be able to comfort someone else in the future. Look to God for that peace that surpasses all understanding. I'm always here for you whenever you need me, I think you know that.

With much love and many prayers,
Sarah Beth Furrow
