My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to you, Rebecca, and the entire Raught family. I know this is an incredibly heavy and painful time, and my prayers are with you all.
Please find comfort in these words of Scripture:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
May the God of all comfort wrap you in His peace, strengthen your heart, and remind you that you are not walking through this season alone. Even in moments of sorrow, His presence is near, and His love remains constant.
If you need anything — prayer, support, or simply someone to talk to — I am here for you.
