    My husband and I would like to express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of your beloved Helen. We wanted to share with you comfort from God’s Word found in John 5::28,29. Here we are given the wonderful hope of the ressurection of our dear loved ones. The God of comfort also reassures us that he is is near to those broken at heart and to those crushed in spirit he saves. (Psalms 34:18) May you draw comfort from the many loving memories you all made and shared together, cherish them in your hearts always, and her memory will live on in each and every one of you who knew and loved her. Take care of yourselves and each other, during this very difficult time.
