My condolences go out to the entire family. May you take comfort in knowing that Willie is only asleep in death and that soon Jesus will awaken him. (John 11:11-14) In GodÂ’s new Kingdom for which we pray, we will never have to mourn the loss of our loved ones again. (Matt. 6:10; Rev. 21:4) I hope this brings you peace.
