A thought of comfort and condolences to the family of Byron during your time of grief. I know the memories of Byron will always be a treasure in your hearts. May we all look forward to the day when mankind’s greatest enemy DEATH will be DESTROYED from off the earth spoken at 1 Corinthians 15:26 and then we can experience God’s promises at Revelation 21:4 of NO more DEATH, PAIN, MOURNING OR OUTCRY.

With Sincerest Condolences/Sharing a Scriptural Thought With You

My condolence to the family. Few things cause more stress or heartache than the death of a loved one. Thankfully, the Bible repeatedly speaks of a time in the future when those in the grave will be brought back to life.-Isa.26:19.
