Dear Lanier Family: Please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one. This is a very difficult time for all but may you find comfort in knowing that Gladys is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about her and will return Gladys to you in the resurrection as promised at Hosea 13:14 and John 6:40, where it says, "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone that recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day."
Sincerely,
Susan
