To Williams family and friends,
Please accept my deepest sympathy as you endure the loss of your precious young man. While words often fail us at such distressing times, Isaiah 63:9 says of God, "During all their distresses, it was distressing to Him..." Take comfort that Almighty God feels deep empathy for us, and he will mercifully aid us by means of his spirit.
My deepest sympathy,
Larry and Cathy Miller

Sometimes, the Lord works in strange mysterious ways. The Rapture is right around the corner. When you know the Lord, everything is gain. You never lose anyone. You can always look up, and talk to him. I'm sure that if the Lord allowed him to reply, I'm sure that his response would be, "Y'all don't worry about me down there! I'm having a fun Eternity up here! See y'all real soon in the Rapture!"
