Frank and Becky,
I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Brent. My heart goes out to you for your precious loss. I too, know the unbearable pain of losing a son. It is one of the most devastating experience's a parent can face. It leaves you with so many overwhelming emotions! Your lives have changed forever! But, remembering all the wonderful moments you shared with Brent living, laughing and loving can help to comfort you thru difficult times. And most of all, may the God of Love sustain you with His promise of HOPE for the future. When He will soon end all suffering on the earth. HOPE will not take away your pain, but it will enable you to endure it day by day.
"And HE will wipe out every tear from their eyes and DEATH will be NO more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the ONE seated on the throne said; "LOOK! I am making all things NEW.....these words are faithful and TRUE."
