Condolences to the Family

April 10, 2015

Dear Farney Family:  I am so sorry to have read of your loss.  Please accept my sincere condolences.  I would like to share something that I have found to be comforting.  It is found in the Bible at John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:4.  These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for sufffering, including sickness and death.  Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.
