    I want to send you our family’s heart felt sympathy at the loss of your beloved husband, my co-worker and friend. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers and ask for Gods holy spirit to help ease your pain and grief. Revelation 21:4 tells us that God “will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I hope you can find a little comfort in knowing that one day SOON we will never have to suffer loss in such a painful way. Chris and Sandra Rogers
