" My Deepest Sympathy. Losing someone you loe dearly is so difficult, but your precious memories will stay with you forever. Thinking about them and talking about the good times as a family is comforting. As the days pass sometimes the difficulty rises because of really missing our loved one or being overwhelmed about "what now" or "I didn't get the chance to say . . ." So, there is an encouraging Scripture I want to share, "When anxities overwhelmed me, You (God) comforted and soothed me." Knowing that God is there for you is a real source of comfort. I really hope these words bring you peace and solace. (Psalms 94:19)"
