Holy greetings and Comfort to Pastor Thomas and family as you all grieve the transition of your father. We know God will supply you all with everything you need during this tough time , because when he finished creation he said it is very good. In the words of Jeremiah, this I call to my mind that I may have hope, it is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, his compassions they fail not they are renewed every morning, great is thy faithfulness. It is our prayer that you all will not be consumed with grief, but rather the hope of seeing him in eternity. Love you, may God richly bless you my beloved.
