I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one and share the hope promised in the Bible.

God has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a

guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead. (Acts 17:31)

If your heart yearns to see a loved one again, study the Bible to make this resurrection hope your very own.

Dear Darlene, Doug, Johnie and Rose,

I’m so sorry for your loss. Aunt Larraine was the kindest, sweetest person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing in my life. She treated all of us kids as if we were her own. Time passes so quickly for all of us but my memories and love for your Mom will stay in my heart forever.

Love You All,

Robin
