To the Stein Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

I am so sorry for the family's loss. You may find comfort through prayer and God's loving promise found at John 6:40.

Dear Wendy, thinking of you and your family. Love Lily
