My condolences to the family. Though the sting of death is very painful, know that God (Psalms 83:13) promises to remove that sting of death forever. He also promises to resurrect our dead loved ones back to life in the near future. May this message of hope comfort all of you during this difficult times. (Isaiah 25:8; Acts 24:15).
I was sorry to here of Mr. Louis passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
