   To family and dear friends, I am very sorry for your loss. I would like to extend my condolences and please share a scripture for comfort. At John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 it says, "for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" May you find comfort in God's faithful promises. "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) With deep sympathy and heartfelt prayer.
