Liz,

I am one person in this world who knows exactly what you are going through! I lost my dad at age 30. I hope and pray that God helps ease your pain. Memories are wonderful things. Just think back to all the good times and feel comforted. It's what you dad would have wanted.

Dear Family,

I am very sorry to learn of the loss of your loved one. I am sending this condolence because our loving heavenly Father encourages us to comfort others.(2 Corinthians 1:3,4) Jesus stated at John 5:28,29 that there will be a resurrection. It is documented in God's written word many times that he possesses this power. He stated at John 11:25 that he is the resurrection and the life. One day our enemy death will be eliminated as 1 Corinthians 15:26 assures us. Until that time we await the reality of the promise by Jehovah God at Revelation 21:3,4 when there will be no more death, pain, tears or mourning. Please accept this sincere condolence and know that God cares for you.(1 Peter 5:7)
