  1. David & Pati,
    We are so heart broken for your loss of your precious daughter. We cannot even begin to imagine your loss and pray for your family’s comfort. Delight in her brightness in this world that she gave and has left behind. God be with you in the coming days for peace and comfort. With much love, David & Jeanne Jones

  2. May God’s promise at John 5:28,29 of a future resurrection bring you comfort. Until that time comes, he assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he “is close to the brokenhearted” and “saves those who are crushed in spirit.” So he understands your pain and grief and is eager to help you by giving you the strength you need to cope during this most difficult time. (Philippians 4:13)

    The Bible tells us more about the resurrection and what life will be like for us on earth when it takes place. God promises no more death, suffering of any kind, or wickedness. (Revelation 21:3,4; Psalm 37:10,11,29) To be able to live as God originally purposed and to welcome back our loved ones to perfect health and conditions forever, is such a comforting promise! If you’d like to discuss more, feel free to contact me.

    My deepest condolences,
    Lisa

  3. To the parents and family of Leah,
    Our hearts join your hearts, as you try to accept the Will of our Father and Lord. We walk with you and understand your pain and loss. We lost our son in 1999 in an automobile accident in Mexico City, MX. It was his wish to be an organ donor at age 16. He died at 19 years old. We continue to pray for healing and acceptance, as we do for you. A part of us is missing and the only way not to drown in the sea of sadness is to know that God is in control and we want to trust Him. We mourn with you and understand your loss. There are no words to convey our sincere sympathies. May God bless you today and in the coming weeks. Lovingly, Pam and David King, Brenham Church of Christ

  4. Our Deepest sympathy for your loss. Family should not have to go so young. Donna and Art

  5. So sorry for your loss.  During this difficult time, find comfort in God’s thrilling promise found at Revelation 21: 3, 4 to soon wipe out every tear from our eyes, for death to be no more , and no more pain these things will be done away.  Knowing this promise I hope wiil give you the strength to endure.
