My thoughts and prayers are for all of you.
My deepest condolences. May the God of comfort continue to comfort your family during this time of grief. The bible assures us that our Heavenly Father “is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit .” (Psalms 34:18) knowing that God has the power to resurrect our loved ones back to life (John 5:28,29) is very comforting to me and I hope this promise will bring you comfort as well.
Remember when Brook and I lived next door on Lawndale. I’m so sorry about Joe. 🙁
