Prayers sent! Very sorry.
My wife and I are deeply sorry for your families loss Jim. We will send prayers.
So sorry Jim for your family’s loss. We’ll keep your brother in our prayers.
We pray that you would bless this family, give them the strength that they need to recover from their grief, give them the comfort of knowing that this lady has now passed on to a better place than she was, let them give thanks that she is no longer in pain but is now rejoicing in your glorious presence.
We pray that they would know that her soul is no longer bound to the earthly body that caused her such pain but is now in the love that transcends all things, including death.
Give them strength, Father, give them comfort, make them secure in the knowledge that she still loves them and that you love them all.
In the name of your son, Jesus Christ,
Amen
Jim, please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear sister in law and friend. She, your brother and your family will be included in my prayers. I pray God gives your brother strength. And I hope good memories and keeping his wife’s spirit close, will, in time, give him some comfort. God bless all of you.
Prayers for your brother, his children and all the rest of you.
Prayers for the family.
PRAYERS LIFTED FOR COMFORT!
I may say to those of you also who have been bereaved—if you believe in providence you may grieve; but your grief must not be excessive. I remember at a funeral of a friend hearing a pretty parable which I have told before, and will tell again. There was much weeping on account of the loss of a loved one, and the minister put it thus. He said, “Suppose you are a gardener employed by another; it is not your garden, but you are called upon to tend it, and you have your wages paid you. You have taken great care with a certain number of roses; you have trained them up, and there they are, blooming in their beauty. You pride yourself upon them. You come one morning into the garden, and you find that the best rose has been taken away. You are angry: you go to your fellow-servants, and charge them with having taken the rose. They will declare that they had nothing at all to do with it; and one says, “I saw the master walking here this morning; I think he took it.” Is the gardener angry then? No, at once he says, “I am happy that my rose should have been so fair as to attract the attention of the master. It is his own: he hath taken it; let him do what seemeth him good.”
