To the Wurster family, my deepest sympathies to you. I am very sorry for your loss. God’s original purpose for humankind was to live forever in Paradise on a beautiful earth. Death was not part of that original purpose. Unfortunately, in this world we live in, it is all too common to lose our loved ones in death, and it hurts. However, we won’t hurt for long. John 5:28,29 says, ‘Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice, and come out.’ What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dear loved ones. No doubt, that’s a promise that you would like to see fulfilled.
My deepest condolences to each of you. Although I hadn’t had the privilege of knowing Verna, several of my grandchildren did, and I am so thankful they had her in their lives for a little while. I know they will never forget her!
With love and sympathy,
Bonnie Livernois
