Waco, TX Thursday, July 5, 2018 My deepest condolences to the family. May God's promise at John 5:28,29 of a future resurrection bring you comfort. Until that time comes, he assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he "is close to the brokenhearted" and "saves those who are crushed in spirit." So he understands your pain and grief and is eager to help you by giving you the strength you need to cope during this most difficult time. (Philippians 4:13)George IV Etter

Their hearts are breaking and I'm praying God will help me get them through this. Rest easy!
