Sending love and prayers during this difficult time
I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying the God of all comfort helps you at this difficult time. (2Corinthians 1:3,4 & Psalms 83:18). Jesus told us to pray for God’s Kingdom because the Bible promises it will do away with death. (Revelation 21:4 & Daniel 2:44).
Mike and I are so very sorry to hear of the loss of such a sweet and caring young man.
We shared a lot of fond memories working with Heath for many years. He was not just an employee but a true friend. We are praying for comfort for all his family during this difficult time.
