To the Ingram family:
We are sorry to hear about Mr. Ingram passing away. Its so nice that his last thought was of you all with him. God has also experienced the loss of his son. Just like in that situation nothing was able to prevent him from raising his son up, nothing now can prevent the resurection from occuring again. (Reveation 21:3,4) I hope the family receives further encouragement from other friends and family members during this difficult time.
