Lendel McCrea has been a wonderful friend to me for many years, and her passing leaves a painful void in my heart. She always loved her family and was a terrific wife, mother, and grandmother. Darren and family, please know that you are in my prayers as you suffer this enormous loss.
Please except my condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about her and bring her back again. John 5:28, 29 gives this assurance.
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your loved one. I wanted to send you some comforting words based on a wonderful Bible promise. You can read that promise in your own Bible at Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 21:4. Please also read John 5:28, 29 where Jesus said the time will come when he will call those in the grave back to life. He showed examples of this when he was on earth and resurrected persons back to the loving arms of their families. He even resurrected his dear friend Lazarus back to the loving arms of his sisters Mary and Martha. How comforting to know we can see our loved ones again in the future! I hope these messages from the Bible and your fond memories of your loved one will in time bring your family comfort and peace as you work your way through the days, weeks and months ahead.
