I'm so sorry for your loss family. May our Lord grant you great comfort and peace. From my heart, Melanie B. Jones ππ½
May the scriptures read at Revelation 21:3&4 Comfort the family today and Eternity for God has promised us through his word that one day there will no longer be any pain, or suffering not any crying and no more death and soon we will see all our dead loved ones. The righteous as well as the unrighteous will hear Jesus voice and come out of the memorial toombs. That promise Paradise that we are awaiting is closer than what we think. Losing loved ones in death is never easy and neither is seeing them suffer in pain. Please accept my sincere condolences to the whole entire Strickland family!
