To the Compton family,
My heart and prayers are with you. I grew up two doors down from the Compton family, I will never forget Mr. Compton and his little beloved dog Spud. He was always kind and good hearted. He will be greatly missed.
"O God, you do not willingly grieve or afflict your children. Look with pity on the suffering of this family in their loss. Sustain them in their anguish; and into the darkness of their grief bring the light of your love; through Jesus we pray.
Amen."
