Condolences to the Family
June 16, 2020
Dear Bert and the whole Cassel Family,
I was saddened to learn of your brother’s passing as announced in the LAC Bulletin. Please accept our most sincere condolences at this time. We did read the obituary in the Lancaster Paper – it was a beautiful tribute to a devoted man of GOD. May I offer you some words of comfort that are especially meaningful to Judy and I at times of sorrow like this. … GOD in love has promised grace for every trial, strength for every sorrow, help for every mile, and may GOD in sympathy and unfailing love impart help for each tomorrow and new courage to your heart. … Cast your burdens upon the LORD, and GOD shall sustain you; The LORD shall never allow the righteous to be moved … Cast all your cares upon GOD, for the LORD GOD cares for you. (Psalm 55:22, 1st Peter 5:7). Know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
In HIM and HIM alone, Judy and Fred Holler (from LAC)
