I wanted to convey my deepest sympathy to the family and friends who lost their beloved Fred. It is hard to express in words the sorrow felt at a time such as this. I too have lost ones dear to me and I wanted to share with you a hope that has brought me much comfort. That hope is the one found in Christ Jesus words at John 5:28,29 where he stated that the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. We also have he promise that soon death will be completely done away with forever. (Isaiah 25:8) Please continue to look to the "God of all comfort" (2Corinthians 1:3) during this time of mourning. I truly hope that these and other scriptures bring you as much comfort (Romans 15:4) as they have me. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. With Sincere Sympathy, Becky H.
