Dear Family, I’m so sorry to read of the loss of your dearly loved Laura Lewis. Please kindly accept my sincere sympathy. During this difficult time I hope you can find comfort in God’s promises that a loving God would never take your loved one (James 1:13) that God promises to comfort you during your grief (2 Corinthians 1:3-7) and lastly Jesus foretold a hope to see our loved ones happy and healthy. I pray this comforts you as it has our family during loss.
