Hi Glen,
I read in the paper this morning about the death of your mother and that your father had died earlier. When I spoke to you by phone a couple of years ago they were both living. It is amazing how quickly circumstances can change. Both your parents lived long and full lives so their deaths are not surprising nor tragic. At the same time they leave a void in our lives which we can't help but mourn.
All the best to you and your family.
Your friend from our Acadia days,
Keith Churchill

Please accept my condolences on your loss.
I found comfort in the hope the Bible offers for our loved ones at Psalms 37:29 which says, "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."
We are assured by God in His Word the Bible, that after the earth is cleansed of current troubled conditions, it will be restored to a paradise like the Garden of Eden as He originally purposed.
Then our loved ones will return to life on earth in good health. (Isaiah 33:24)
John 5:28,29 tells us that "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..."
In the 'Lord's Prayer' that most of us are familiar with, we ask for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth a it is in heaven.
Then there will be no more sorrow or pain as we are promised at Revelation 21:4. It reads, "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."
I hope these words will bring you a measure of solace in your time of loss.
Sincerely,
Sandra Sullivan
