With Deepest Sympathies And Heartfelt Condolences I Write To Share A Beautiful Scriptural Promise Of Comfort And Hope. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I Well Know The Thoughts That I Am Thinking Toward You,’ Declares Jehovah, €˜Thoughts Of Peace, And Not Of Calamity, To Give You A Future And A Hope.” This Hope Is The Promise To See Our Dear Loved Ones Who Have Past Away Again. When God Brings Them Back To Life Through A Resurrection To Reunite Them With Us Forever Again. John 5:28,29 “Do Not Be Amazed At This, For The Hour Is Coming In Which All Those In The Memorial Tombs Will Hear His Voice And Come Out.” What A Beautiful Promise And How Comforting To Know That We Can Have The Heartwarming Hope That Someday, In God’S New World, We Will Be Reunited With Loved Ones Who Have Fallen Asleep In Death.
Until That Day Soon May Fond Memories Of Your Dear Loved One Bring You Comfort During This Hard Time In Your Life. Look Back On All The Good Memories You Were Able To Have And Smile At The Fact That You Were Able To Share These. My Heart And Sympathies Go Out To You And Your Family.
