  2. Please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your beloved Joe. Death is truly an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26)
    I have found great comfort during times of grief by reflecting on the Biblical promise of a ressurection (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15). Please be assured that our heavenly Father is aware of your pain and can comfort you ( 1 Corinthians 4:13,14)May these thoughts and your memories comfort you during this difficult time.
