February 1, 2014

Mis sinceras condolencias a la familia. La muerte nos trae un dolor muy fuerte, sin embargo nuestro Padre Celestial no nos deja sin esperanza, nos da una maravillosa esperanza en las Santas Escrituras en le libro de Hechos 24:15 "Y tengo esperanza en cuanto a Dios, esperanza que estos mismos abrigan de que va a haber resurrección así de justos como de injustos". Nuestro Creador desea que nosotros disfrutemos otra vez de nuestros seres amados que hemos perdido en la muerte.

I ligh this, for your safe journey to heaven.

January 29, 2014

Though I didn't actually know you, Sam, except for watching you dance with your sweet daughter (Michelle) on her wedding day...I knew you were a good daddy to her, and she loves you. Praying for peace and comfort, in the arms of Jesus..for all of your family left behind. Praying that they know that there is a 'here after'..and it will be beautiful meeting up with all those very loved people, like you, in Heaven one day. Those who have made an impact on the hearts and lives of others while still on this Earth. God be with all of your family today, and each day as each one walks this difficult journey together as a family. Rest in peace.
