Rae my prayers and thought go out to you and your family; I was so sorry to hear about your father. Nancy Krupp
My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of James. The loss of our dear loved ones can be very difficult and distressing to cope with. True comfort comes from our Creator's ( Psalm 83 : 18 - God's name - Jehovah ) own loving words to us : Revelation 21 : 3-5; Acts 24 : 15; Psalms 37 : 10,11, 29 ; 1 Corinthian 15 : 26. I hope these few scriptures help to soothe your hearts and bring you comfort, peace and a hope. Sincerely Ginger
