My condolences to the Wales family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Dear Roberts Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in your loving memories and in knowing that our Heavenly Father promises we will see them again in the resurrection. (Mark 5:28)
He also gives us a beautiful promise in Isaiah 25:8 -He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
For Jehovah himself has spoken it.
While your grief is great now, the joy when you see your loved one again will be greater.
I am so sorry for your loss. Patrick was a very special person. He always had a big smile and always made me laugh. And he was an amazing cook, the house always smelled so good! My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this horrible time. Patrick is an Angle now, who will watch over us all…
You all are such a strong family and will be such a source of support for each other. The good memories will help and sharing them will be special. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love you all so very much!
