I am deeply sorry for your loss. Life is never supposed to be cut so short. While words cannot express the pain we feel when we lose our loved ones in death, the promise God gives us in Isaiah 25:8 can bring us much comfort where it says he “will swallow up death forever and wipe tears from all faces.” In the very near future, God has given us much to look forward to. We will soon be reunited with our loved ones by means of a resurrection, right here on earth. (Acts 24:15) Until that time, keep close to your hearts the memories of Gary and the time spent together. May the “God of All Comfort” be with you in this time of great sadness. ( 2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
Lindsay and family. I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Know you are in my heart and you are all in my prayers. Big hugs.
Lisa and family so sorry for your loss know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Terrie (Sutton) and Phil Smith
