Dear family I am very sorry for your great loss. Death is such a painful part of life. The bible promises a time when sickness an death will be no more and those who have died will be resurrected on the earth to peaceful paradise conditions. It’s my wish that this hope from the bible brings you comfort. Sincerely, Tracie
