To The Balfe Family:
Praying his peace surrounds you,
His hope fills you,
His plan is revealed to you –
As Jesus walks with you through this time.
May the Lord and the compassion of others comfort you,
And surround you in his love and encourage you with His presence.
Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies” John 11:25 NIV
God’s heart for you is full of hope, love, and peace;
And so are our prayers.
With compassion,
Vicki & Dre Robertson
