Mrs. Gillette, Katherine, and Family,
We have been lifting you up in prayer to the Father over the past week, and are so sorry for the void that has been left in your family. As you “meander through” the exacting days ahead, we pray that God will make himself very real to you and that he will uphold your family with his comforting hand of love and mercy as you grieve Mr. Gillette’s passing. I trust that pleasant memories of the ways he touched each of you will provide strength and solace as you deal with your sorrow over the coming days. May God brightly shine his “light of love” on each member of your family.
With Sympathy,
Greg, Debbie, Thomas, and Elizabeth Bennett
