Dear Rambo Family:

Please accept my expressions of sympathy for your beloved family member. When someone you love dies, it causes great pain. Our Lord Jesus "...groaned in the spirit.. and gave way to tears..."John 11:33,35, when his good friend Lazarus died. Jesus did something about his loss and resurrected him back to life. This is what the bible holds out as a promise. In the future we will see our loved ones again. May you find peace in knowing of the power given to Jesus by his father to perform such loving deeds on behalf of mankind.
