Condolence: My husband and I would like to express our sincere sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Joan. Although we never had the opportunity to meet Joan personally, we wanted to share with you comfort from Gods word found in John 5:28,29. Here we are given the wonderful hope of the resurrection of our dear loved ones, here on earth just as Lazarus was in John 11. Draw comfort also in knowing that our loving Heavenly Father expresses his loving compassion for all of us when someone we love dies. (Psalm 34:18). Share your memories with those who surround you, for the memories shared are the ones most truly cherished, may they bring you a sense of peace and joy in your hearts as you begin to heal. Take care of yourselves and each other during this very difficult time.
