To the family of Deborah, you have my deepest sympathy in your loss. Death is one of the most difficult situations to face because the family circle is broken, but be assured that it is only temporary! By means of God’s Kingdom, He promises at Revelation 21:4, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” May this promise from God help you thru this difficult period.

You will be sadly missed my friend, but rest in the arms of the Lord now and you will be in my heart forever.
