Gloria amd family - Sorry to hear about Paul. It is never easy to prepare for the loss of a loved one. But through Christ's love and sacrifice on the cross we know that Paul is in a place where there is only peace and joy.
Ps. 73 (CW) always serves as comfort to me during these times and I pray that it will also bring comfort to each of you. "Surely it is God who saves me, I will trust in Him and not be afraid, for the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense and He will be my Savior."
Take care and God bless. You will continue to be in my thoghts and prayers.

Our love and prayers go out to you and your family. There is no way to prepare for loss, and often, it is hard to see God's loving hand, but be assured that His support is ever present and evidenced by the physical presence of your Christian brothers and sisters around you at this time. Always here, always available to offer support, encouragement, and a listening ear-just as you have done for others. All our love in Christ
