3 Condolences
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Thinking of you all at this terribly sad time. May the wonderful memories help you through the heartache.
Deepest condolences to the Family, words don’t come easy at a time like this. Hold tight to fond memories of James. Lean on God for strength. Always remember that you are cared for. We mourn with you because a loved one lost can grieve the heart causing you to yearn for tomorrow when God will keep the promise he made of no more pain, no more suffering, no more death, and wipe the tears from all faces. Revelation twenty one verse four and Isaiah twenty five verse eight.
