"To the Family of C.Roger Bolt, Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you look forward to a time when this verse comes true. ?And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.?-Rev 21:4"

"I am sorry to read of your loss. Many have lost loved ones and want to see them again. The Bible actually says what will be death's unavoidable eventuality at Revelation 21:4, which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.? Death will be gone forever. May this be of encouragement."

"Pearl, You certainly have my prayers for peace of mind and comfort from our Heavenly Father, for your loss. Husband, fathers and grandfathers are very special and Roger was the best. He was such a happy, jovial person no matter when you saw him and took life in stride. Mark and Kevin had fun times playing together when he lived neighbors. I'm sorry I haven't had the pleasure to know Kevin's wife and daughters, but I'm sure they've been a blessing in support and comfort to you. May God wrap His arms around you and bathe you in His love and care. Love, Rosemary"
