My sincerest condolences to Reyff family. Losing a loved one is one of the painful things in this world, no one wants this even our loving Father. It is comforting to know that God deeply cares about us and would soon act to eliminate death. (1 Peter 5:7; Revelation 21:4) May you find comfort from these scriptures and be encouraged that we will soon meet Robert again.
Sharon says
Your family has my deepest sympathy. I am so very sorry for your loss. Well, I was thinking of something to say to ease the tremendous pain that your family is suffering. So I compiled this list of scriptures that is sure to bring you comfort in this difficult time: Psalms 55:22 Proverbs 3: 5 & 6; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; James 4:8; and Revelation 21:4. Be strong. Cherish the memories. May the peace of God be with your family always. And, please, remember to call upon his name found at Psalms 83:18.

Diana and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Bob was quite a person. I loved visiting with him. He was a man of principles; he always took a stand on all issues in this world. I was amazed by his continued strength to follow the news and issues; even from bed he knew what was going on in the world, had an opinion on it, and a plan of attack on how he would fix it if he was in charge. And yet there were times when he showed a very compassionate and soft side as he spoke to and looked out for those who were less fortunate or unable to speak for themselves.

Diana: This is Patty Reyff Tinsley…I don’t think I knew of Robt. L’s death…we moved out of state near to that time.
I am SO SORRY for your loss, and also sorry I could not spend more time with you both…
I am happy that he was a Christian man.
Our thoughts & prayers will always be with you and your family.
If you’d like to keep in touch, post that request here…and we can accomplish that.
Keep looking up…to the Lord.
