Tributes
"We wanted to offer our condolences for the loss of your family member. We all must face the sting of death in our lives. We always draw hope and comfort from the pages of God's Word. Matthew 5:4 The first thing to be mindful of is that David is simply asleep, as he waits for his resurrection. Jesus performed this miracle several times in the past and he promises to do it again for all mankind that is asleep. John 11:11-14; John 5:28-29 So the Bible gives us sure hope for the future that we will have the chance to see our loved ones again! But it also says that it will be in a world ruled finally by God's KIngdom. We shall live in a world that Jesus Christ is King over and he will not allow pain or suffering to destroy our happy lives ever again! Pray for God's Kingdom to bring about these promises! Daniel 2:44; Isaiah 33:24; Psalm 37:11, 29; Matthew 6:9-10; Revelation 21:3-4 Mr. Lucci will live again on earth. Make sure you are there to welcome him back!"
