Linda, Kameron, and all Troy's family,
I am so sorry at your great loss. Please know that Lonnie and I are praying for you.

Your loss is Heaven's gain. Look to the day when you will see Troy again:

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 KJV).

God bless you during the days ahead.
