Dear Family,
At a time like this we can't help remembering how fragile life is.May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends.
The inspired prophet,Isaiah assures us,"God will swallow up death forever...(Isaiah 25:8)No one will die from natural causes or weep because of losing a loved one.What a blessed time that will be for all of us.
May God's love heal your sorrow and may his peace replace your heartache with warm and loving memories of your dear loved one.

My condolences goes out to Holmes family. In psalms 34:18 says "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." Revelation 21:3 & 4 gives hope for the future.
