To the Dawkins Family
With Deepest Sympathy
Your Husband/father was an amazing man, and I feel privileged to have known him, I know you will miss him deeply. Expressing heartfelt sympathy and offering a prayer, that God above will comfort you and ease the loss you bear. Our many prayers and good thoughts to your whole family. Hold on tightly to each other always. Though absent from the body means he is the present with the Lord. May God's presence begin the healing in your heart and soul and my God's love surround you with the comfort only he can give.
John 14:1-4 Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God]; believe also in me.
