Dear family and friends of Tony A. Macioroski – I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. May God give you peace and comfort through his sure promises to end the prospect of pain, mourning and death (Revelation 21:4). At that time no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). Almighty God also promises to fulfill our future desires, not just our needs (Psalms 145:16). Cherish all the happy memories of Mr. Macioroski and I hope you are comforted by these Bible promises (John 17:3).
