Condolences

  1. The Vasquez Family

    We are sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one. Words don't always ease the pain when you are grieving the death of a loved one, but we hope you will find hope in Jesus' promise of the redirection hope (Acts 24:14) when he will rise up tho sleeping in death (John 11:11) restoring them back to life, on the renewed paradise( John 5:28,29; Luke 24:43) what a wonderful blessing to look forward too. Until then, may Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18) grant you peace and comfort during this grievous time. - Matthew 5:4.

    Pit,

    I am sorry for your loss. You don't know me except for a few hours we shared in October 2013 when my mom passed. You allowed me to help you dig my mom's grave and then help you bury her. I will always be grateful as that was somehow important for me. Thank you and my thoughts are with you.
