    When unforeseen occurrences befall us, and the enemy death strikes, our grief can be great. It is at times like this that we need comfort and support whether we are acquainted or not.
    May you find comfort in Almighty God promise of the ‘resurrection’. ~Acts 24:15.
    All of God’s promises will come true, for it is impossible for God to lie.~Hebrews 6:18.
    Respectfully,
