Dear Lovett Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. As part of my ministry work I try to offer a brief word of comfort to families since this may be one of the hardest things any of us will ever have to endure.
If possible, please consider what Jesus said to Martha right before he resurrected Lazarus and the comforting message found at 2 Corinthians 1:3-4:
John 11:25-26
“I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?"
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
"Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God."
I hope this note serves as a strengthening aide during this difficult time for your family.
Sincerely,
Calvin
