It always a sad time when family loses a loved one. May you have comfort in God’s word which says there is no pain and suffering after a person dies.
We look forward to GOD’s promise of a brand new world with health and happiness. No more sorrow or pain, the former things will be past. Revelation 21:3,4
Elwood S Fehr, brother, and family.
