10/28/2009 Steffanie T. I read about this tragic story and wanted to send my condolences and share a scripture that has brought me comfort, Rev. 21:4 “And he [God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” I truly hope this promise helps you during this very difficult time.
