I wanted to express my deepest sympathies to the Huntley family. I am so sorry for your loss. It’s no way to really describe the pain one feels when death overtakes a loved one. Feelings of sadness and grief can be overwhelming during this time of mourning. However, comfort from the scriptures can give you hope. John 5:28,29 speaks of the promise of the resurrection. That scripture says, ‘Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.’ What this can mean for your family is a real hope of being reunited with your dear loved ones.
I am sorry for your family’s loss. May God be with you in this time of need.
Your family is in my prayers at this most difficult time. May God give you His comfort in the days ahead.
Love to you all!
