Dear Curtis and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Ray and I are sorry we couldn’t make it to her services today, but please know that we are lifting you all up in prayer. We pray the Lord’s peace sustains your family as you grieve her passing and celebrate her life. Romans 12:15 tells us, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” We pray it comforts you to know you will indeed see her again even as she is truly missed now. Our hearts mourn with you now, while we look forward to rejoicing at seeing her again.
Peace and comfort to you all,
Deborah and Ray Bond
Praying for the family.
