Dear Jarvis Family: Please accept my sincere apologies for your loss. May the God of peace comfort you in your time of need. One way that he comforts us is by promising that one day we will see out loved ones again at Acts 24:15. But until that time, at Philippians 4:6,7 he also promises that he will guard our hearts and minds in this time of need. Again,I am sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss. May you have many happy memories.
When God whispered Debra’s name, He brought home one of the sweetest persons I know. She was a true Christian woman with a heart full of God’s love. She was a giver, and I thank God for giving her to us.
Our thoughts and prayer are with you and your family.
