May the family find comfort in fond memories, and in knowing that God is ‘near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.’ (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon ‘swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.’ (Isaiah 25:8) With deepest sympathy.
Dear Thom family,
I am sorry for your loss. As the days and weeks go by, may you draw closer to God in prayer and allow Him to sustain you. –
Psalm 55:22.
It was a pleasure to have met such a wonderful woman! Sweet Cassa was always smiling. She will greatly missed.
