Condolence: My deepest heartfelt condolences to the Wood Family. I am writing because the initial outpouring of support & assistance offered immediately following the loss of a loved one tends to gradually begin to dwindle as the days & weeks go on... but the pain of the loss for those left behind still continues. Having experienced the pain of losing loved ones to death, including my father, I know all too well that days of paralyzing grief still come long after, & even though the typical standard time for sending condolences has passed, I wanted to take this time to share some comfort from the Bible because I know how you must still be hurting. Two scriptures I personally find comforting about promises for the near future are John 5:28, 29, which promises that "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out", and also that then there will be a beautiful time that Revelation 21:4 describes: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." A beautiful time our loved ones who have passed away will come back to life & to us right here on an earth of restored peace in the near future (Psalms 37:11,29), & we will never have to worry about losing them again. May you find comfort in looking forward to the fulfillment of those promises, & the knowledge that he is not suffering but is at rest until you can hold him in your arms, healthy & happy once again very soon, for all eternity. My thoughts are with your family.

Condolence: May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time May you come to know that the love of God is with you always, May your memories of Clayton E.
