From my family to your family,

You have our warmest condolences during these trying times. Please keep in mind that death is an enemy that none of us can escape. It brings about sorrow and grief for those who are affected when we lose someone. However, we have to remember that Jesus came to this earth and gave his life as a ransom sacrifice for all of us. This is in line with Jehovah's original purpose as stated in Genesis when he created the earth for mankind to live forever. Nathan is asleep in death with a great prospect of living again because of Jesus' sacrifice. I hope that knowing one day being reunited with your loved one again, will give you comfort in the coming days ahead.



With warmest sympathies,

The Robinsons (across the street)

Chris, Vicki, TaCaria, Tamara, Tarrence, & Djimon.
