"Please accept my condolences during this time of distress. While it is indeed sad that you are mourning the loss of your dear Alspeth, it saddens God more. In the days ahead, you will reflect on seemingly small, yet precious memories. While doing so, take comfort in knowing that just as you have memories, our creator, almighty God remembers as well. But only He has the ability to restore perfect life on earth to those in His memory. Therefore, you can appreciate how the Bible further stress the fact in this video: ??-? vimeo.com/237368772"
