To The Sanford Family and Friends, It is sad to lose Ruby to death. There is no comfort in death, only grief. Almighty God understands that and he is going to eliminate it forever. Revelations 21:4 says “ And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will be mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away”. What a wonderful future blessing for obedient mankind. Please take comfort in knowing this scripture will be fulfilled. May you have peace, comfort and hope during this difficult time.

To the Sanford family please accept my condolences for your loss. Psalms 34:18,19 gives comfort to the brokenhearted ones.
