Add A Condolence

I'm offering my condolences during this time. A comforting scripture to remember is Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away.

C.M.

Our love and prayers are with you.
