Tori and the Prond Families:

My deepest sympathies to you and your family at this most difficult time. The loss of a spouse and father is one of the most difficult circumstances that we must face. My prayers are with you and your family.

As I have considered the death of my own family members, I am always comforted in coming to grips with such a loss and in getting God's perspective on "our future in death":

For we know that if our earthly house, a tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. And, in fact we groan in this one, longing to put on our house from heaven, since, when we are clothed we will not be found naked. Indeed, we who are in this tent groan, burdened as we are, because we do not want to be unclothed but clothed, so that mortality may be swallowed up by life. And the One who prepared us for this very thing is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.

Therefore, though we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord----for we walk by faith, not by sight---yet we are confident and satisfied to be out of the body and home with the lord. (2nd Corinithians 5: 1-8)

Love Tom and Diane Persinger
