Steve and Jill, I offer my sincere condolence for the loss of your love one. It is in a time like this that it is so important to embrace your faith and the assurance that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It is so important that you assent to the warm embrace of your family and friends.” May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm against your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand”.
