Condolence: My most heartfelt sympathies to the Long family. You were in my thoughts today because I know the anniversary of your dear loved one Arthur is approaching, so I was thinking about you. I want you to keep in mind the beautiful hope that is found in God's Word, the Bible. John 5:28,29 says, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." This means that you have the hope of being reunited with your precious loved one Arthur, right here on earth as God has promised. (Psalm 37:11,29) Jehovah, "the God of tender mercies and the God of all comfort," will continue to provide strength and comfort to your family as you continue to endure. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) And my prayers and thoughts will continue with you.

Condolence: I want to send my love and sympathies to the Long family. I'm very sorry for your loss. It's no way to really describe the pain one feels when death overtakes a loved one. Feelings of sadness and grief can be overwhelming during this time of mourning. However, comfort from the scriptures can give you hope. John 5:28, 29 speaks of the promise of the resurrection. That scripture says, "Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What this can mean for your family is a real hope of being reunited with your dear loved ones.

Condolence: Wayne, you will be missed by all of your cousins. We love you. Rest in peace with the rest of your family.
