To the family of Stanley Howard Flatley…Sometimes gentle words can do so much to soften
the intense sadness when a dear loved one dies. God’s word acknowledges that
our heart can be ‘broken and crushed.’ (Ps. 51:17). But even in
severe situations, God can bring relief to a stricken heart if we pray to him
in full faith and observe his commandments. May the God of comfort soothe your
families aching hearts as the days progress.
