May God continue to comfort and guide you during this difficult time; and may the “peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your heart and your mental powers”. Philippians 4:7.
Lynne Spranger says
Donna & Family Sorry about Jerry, I wish I could have been there but I wasn’t able to attend. Hope you are doing ok.
J. Flowers says
Dear family and friends, I’m very sorry for your loss. Many of us have experienced the death of a loved one. But in the near future this too will have passed away. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 it says “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” Yes, God will soon completely remove death, forever. I hope this scripture brings you comfort.
