With deepest sympathy. I hope wonderful memories of your Dad will help to ease your pain during this difficult time.
My heart and sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time. Losing someone we love is one of the most heartbreaking experiences we will ever face, so I want to take a moment to share a scripture that has given me much personal comfort. Acts 24:15 “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Imagine that day when all our dear loved ones are brought back to life through a resurrection and reunited with us forever again. How we long for that wonderful day so close at hand.
