I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear family member. This tragedy, although too common today, takes on a new meaning when it affects someone dear to us. At the beginning of June I lost my 11 year-old cousin Gabrielle unexpectedly. I saw in Joseph's obituary that he was active in his church and I thought you might appreciate a scripture that comforted me. My hope of seeing Gabrielle again and hearing her laugh was made so strong by the promise in John 5:28, 29. I understand no words or hugs can remove the pain you are feeling, but I hope in time it becomes manageable. You will always have Joseph in your memories. Sincerely, Lauren Trammell 3 John 13
