Condolence: My condolences to the family and all who loved Mary. It’s so hard to lose someone we love, but the seeming finality of death is what makes it especially difficult. Job 14:14,15 gives us confidence that God yearns to bring back to life the dead who are preserved in his memory. His Word, the Bible, gives us a wonderful hope of living in a paradise on earth and seeing the resurrection of our dead loved ones. (Luke 23:43; John 5:28,29) May this bring you some comfort during this very difficult time.

Condolence: Sincere sympathy,Tom, to you and your family on Mary's passing. Words always are somehow totally inadequate when we mourn the loss of someone so near to us, but please know that you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. God is good and His mercy endures forever.
