Condolences

  • I’m very sorry for your loss and wanted to reach out to your family 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.” I hope this verse brings you some comfort in this hard time.
