I am so sorry for your loss. May the ‘God of all comfort’ be with you and your family during this difficult time. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 the ‘Bible promises that very soon ‘death will be brought to nothing’. Then, we have the prospect of being reunited with our loved ones right here on this earth {John 5:28,29}. I truly hope this has brought you some comfort and hope. With deepest sympathies, Gracin and family.

We are so sorry for your loss. Being new to the neighborhood we wish we could have gotten to know Pow better. All that we have learned about him, Pow was a very special person. Anything we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to ask. Feel free to come over anytime to visit, for a cocktail, or to socialize with us at the fire pit. You are always welcome.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know your loved one personally, but I do know the pain of losing a loved one in death. It is my hope that you may find comfort from family and friends, and from “the God of all comfort” who can provide us with peace during such difficult times. – 2 Corinthians 1:3
