Dear Mrs. Miner, Linda, and family,
My sincerest sympathy at the passing of your husband and father.
Mrs. Miner, I sat in front of you and your husband, when you visited at Groton Heights Baptist Church. I always enjoyed chatting with you and seeing your warm, beautiful smile.
How thankful we are that we do not "grieve as those with no hope". Though this is such a sad time, because of Jesus great gift to us, we will rejoice again with our loved ones.
Sincerely,
Linda Wray
