Add A Condolence

I would like to offer my condolences to the Owens family for the loss of dear Odessa. Death is such a heartbreaking experience that we all must deal with. However it is comforting to know that God understands how you feel and wants to comfort you. ( 1 Peter 5:7) Very soon now he will swallow up death. (Isaiah 5:28) I hope that you find this encouraging .

I would like to offer my condolences to the Owens family and may God be a refuge and strength in your time of sorrow.(Psalms 46:1)

I want to offer my condolences to the Owen family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a love one in death, especially when they are so young. Our Almighty Father of tender mercies knows your pain. He calls death an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26) and has promised to remove death and all suffering forever ( Revelation 21:4). He has promised to undo the effect of death by bringing all our love ones in the memorial tombs back to life (Hosea 13:14). What a joyful time it will be to see your love one again. I hope these words give all of you comfort.
