My husband and I would like to express our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Lucille. We wanted to share with you comfort from God’s Word, found in John 5:28,29. Here we are given the wonderful hope of the resurrection of our dear loved ones here on earth, just as Lazarus was in John 11. Draw comfort in knowing that when our enemy death strikes, we are never alone, Our Heavenly Father shares our pain and sorrow when someone we love dies. (Psalm 34:18) May all the many wonderful memories you made and shared together bring a smile and warmth to your hearts as you begin to heal. Share them and her memory will be cherished by all who knew and loved her. Take care of yourselves and each other during this very difficult time.
