When you grieve, I grieve with you. When you shout for joy, I shout with you. When you’re in pain, I too am in pain.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences, for at this times it may feels as though the floodgate is wide open and you’re a lonely target. Rest assure, God is at your side. He said that he’ll never leave you nor forsake you. He also said to cast your cares upon Him for His burden is light.
Put your trust in JEHOVAH GOD, our Heavenly Father even though you do not see Him. Speak to Him, ask Him for what you want, as I will petition that He ease the pain, fill that empty space, strengthen you and give you peace and understanding. For we know weeping may endure for a night, but joy will certainty come in the morning.
So Family, dry your eyes and open your heart and let God fill that void, in the precious name of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, our Lord and Saviour.
Take a deep breath “let it all out and acknowledge God for the gift of life He’d shared with us through Bobby.” For this too shall pass and our Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit, will comfort you and bring much joy into your heart.
It is my solemn pray that our Heavenly Father will bring peace and understanding to all; in the precious name of God’s only begotten Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Love you all, Cousin Carl
