Dear McKelvy Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. For someone to die so young helps us to see just how death is mankind's enemy (1 Cor. 15:26) We hope that you find comfort during this difficult time by drawing close to God. (James 4:8) May the love of friends, family and God's word strengthen you.
