Condolences

  • Nephi was a great man. I have known his family for years. My life is better for knowing him. Prayers and hugs for his family. Love you guys.

  • I was so surprised and sorry to hear of Nephi’s death. My prayers of peace and comfort to all the family.

  • BRENT AND SUE HAMMONDschammond

    Our children grew up together,and we love this family. We are saddened for their loss. Our prayers are sent your way to Teeny and family.

  • I’m very sorry for your loss and wanted to reach out to your family in this hard time to share a scripture that I found to be comforting. In John 11:25 Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” You can draw comfort and hope from this promise.

  • My heartfelt condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. May God Almighty, Father of tender mercies and all comfort continue to strengthen you all (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). How eager we all are to see the fulfillment of Gods promise to completely remove death, tears, mourning, outcry and pain (Revelation 21:4). The Bible also provides assurance of the resurrection hope for our dead loved ones (John 5:25). May these promises from God bring you comfort.
