Our deepest condolences to all the family and friends.
Losing a loved one is so difficult, needing comfort that only God can truly give.
So because of this, I have placed you on our prayer chain. We might not know all of you,
But God does and he IS the God of all comfort. May you feel our prayers and His comfort.
