Rich, sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.
I pray for God’s loving arms to be wrapped about you with comfort. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
I would like to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband, father and brother. May you find encouraging the words found in the Bible at Revelation 21:4, where God tells us that very soon he will do away with death and sickness from the Earth forever, and then he will resurrect Ken to perfect life here on Earth, surrounded by family and friends, which has always been God’s purpose for mankind and for the Earth.
