Dear Family and Friends of Olympia Dawn Little Coyote – Please be comforted by promises found in the Bible at this difficult time. Continue to dwell on the happy memories and fine qualities that you remember about Olympia. The Bible book of Hebrews reminds us that the Creator does not forget all of the love and fine works shown by her (Heb 6:10). It was not a part of God’s purpose for Olympia to suffer and die. Please look forward to the joy of again seeing her in perfect Paradise conditions. Faith in these Bible promises will hopefully ease the pain of loss. Meanwhile we have the opportunity to follow Jesus’ instruction to continue to take in Bible knowledge that leads to everlasting life (John 17:3).
Cathy Spang says
