To the Melvin Family,
So sorry for your loss. I felt compelled to write after reading your loved one (James) story. My sister in-line also had ALS. It's a terrible disease that took her life after five years. I personally know the hardship that it-can put on the family, and wished we had the three additional years that your family had.
May God give your family strength and comfort to help you endure this loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. Although I may not fully understand your pain, the God of all comfort does. He promises in 1 Thessalonians 4:14, that one day we will see our loved ones again. May that hope help sustain you in the coming days.
