Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers, as well as your memories give you comfort to help you endure the days ahead. The Bible also offers comfort. “For God is near to those broken at heart. “ Ps 34:17,18. Our Creator promises that there will soon be a time when “death will be no more.” Revelation 21:4

Condolence: I would like to send my condolences to the family and friends of Mary Viola. I did not know her personally, but I am sure that she was dearly loved and will most certainly be missed. Losing a loved one in death can be a heartbreaking experience. It pains God to see people lose their loved ones in death. God has promised that soon, death will be a thing of the past. (Isaiah 25:8) We can look forward to enjoying life again with our loved ones who have passed away in death. (John 5:28, 29) How wonderful that will be! I hope that these thoughts will provide a measure of comfort in this difficult time.
