My deepest condolences to the family for your loss.Truly heartbreaking. Our Heavenly Father gives us a beautiful thought when He promises us that soon death will be “swallowed up forever.” (1 Cor. 15:54) Along with this, God also guarantees that ones who have died will be able to live again. (John 5:28,29) I hope these encouraging scriptures can bring you some comfort during this difficult time.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Carol, Brad and family. I’ve know Dick for many years. First met him at Hope Lutheran Church in Plainwell.
Was part of a mens bible study that met at Big Boy for many years. Got to know Dick pretty well. Will surely miss him!
