Condolence from Jeanette williams on April 20th, 2019 5:40 pm

It is with deepest sympathy that I write this letter. I too have loss many love ones in death. And I found comfort and hope in the scriptures. One is at Revelation 21:3,4 where it says ;
“[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”​—Revelation 21:4.
If you would like to hear more please reach me at my email below.
Sincerely
Jeanette Williams
