Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. May you find comfort your loving memories, and in knowing that our Creator is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,
