Dear Aunt Louise and family,
I'm sorry to hear about Uncle Fred's sudden passing.My prayers and sympathy are with you. May you find comfort in knowing that to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord and that you will see him again one day. It's times like this when God holds you in the palm of his hand close to his heart and will carry you in the days ahead.

God Bless,
Ruth

Dear Louise and Family,

We know the pain of Fred's passing, especially so unexpectedly, is hard to bear. His absence will leave a big vacuum in the family, but we trust that the memories of his life, his contributions to the family life and to his country, will help to ease the loss. Our sympathy and prayers are with you in your sorrow. May you know the comfort of the Lord, who offers to come alongside the broken hearted, in the days before you.

With our love,
Bill and Rosalind
