Condolences for the loss in your family

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Frank, I just received notice of your mother's death, and I wanted to pass along my condolences to you. I cannot imagine what it's like, although I lost my father. I don't know how I'll act when my mother goes. I just hope that you find comfort in your grief, and that you always have a fondness in your heart of her memory.
Doug

Dear family, may the God of all comfort give you the strength to endure the loss of your loved one, Leenora. (Psalm 83:18) And, may you be comforted by the support of friends and family during this time.

I am sending hugs to Frank and the rest of the family. The congregation at University Baptist Church in Columbus, Ohio send their condolences.
