Extending heartfelt condolences for your loss. Cherish loving memories of laughter and times spent together that are now something to be treasured. Proverbs 17:22 says "a joyful heart is good medicine", therefore, may those memories bring you joy and warm your heart. May you have empathy, comfort and support from family and friends now and any time it is needed. Another source of comfort is our loving Heavenly Father who is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and is only a prayer away. Psalm 65:2 calls God the "Hearer of prayer", and Psalm 145:18 says he "is near to all those calling on him". God has promised at Revelation 21:4 that soon "death will be no more". 1 John 4:8 says "God IS love". It is that love that moved Him to send his only begotten son as a ransom sacrifice so we could have the hope of the resurrection, and that hope is noted at Acts 24:15. May the Father of tender mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials (2 Corinthians 1:3,4), comfort you in your time of need. (tallchea@att.net)
