Hello Brown Family, I would like to express my condolences by sharing a comforting scripture with you. The scripture is found at Revelation 21:3,4. Here the Bible speaks of a promise God has made to rid the earth of anything that causes us pain and suffering. Yes, God will do away with all the terrible things that we endure today, including death. This is a time many people look forward to, and they also find comfort in this promise from God. I hope you find comfort in this message as well during this difficult time.
Brenda & family,
So sorry about the loss of your dad. We were just kids when I knew you, but have always thought about you. Your dad was a very nice man. I remember all the sundays at the old church. In my mind as a kid, your mom and dad were special.
