'To be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord.' It is the hope of every true follower of Jesus Christ. As such we offer heartfelt condolences at this sad time and look forward to seeing our saved loved ones again. May the peace and comfort of our faithful God and Father be experienced in abundance during this time of loss.
