Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Please accept my condolences on your loss. May fond memories of John comfort you; and God help your family during this difficult time. Isa.41:13

The Chubb family of Roanoke,VA was deeply saddened to hear of the death of our friend, John, of more than 50 years. We spent many Sunday afternoons together after church and our summer visits with him in Georgia we will always remember the times we had together. It seems that he just disappeared off the face of the earth. There were no notices in the Roanoke newspapers for longtime friends and neighbors to say goodbye. We were left wondering. May your family be comforted in your grief.

I am sorry for your loss. Please take comfort in the God of all comfort and hope.
