Kelley says
Please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your loved one. One of the saddest times in our lives is when we lose a family member or a friend in death. There are comforting words from the Bible that may ease the loss. Please see the scripture at Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. “
Geri Small says
Condolences to the family.
FLY HIGH GARY TO THE ANGELS.
