Bertha & Rick
I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the family. I know that words provide little comfort at a time like this but please know that you can receive comfort and strength from the Creator (Isaiah 40:28,29). He promises through Jesus that there will be a resurrection of the dead (John 5:28,29). Until then, I hope that you will find solace in these promises and draw strength from those around you at this difficult time.
