Gary, Kevin, Tracy and Danice, please know of our thoughts and prayers with you during this difficult time. Words cannot express our deep sorrow for you. One of the great things about following the Lord Jesus Christ is the fact that He is always with us…every hour and every day. He knows our struggles and sorrows. The Bible gives us many encouraging verses that are often of great comfort when we are grieving some kind of sorrow or loss in our lives. We pray these favorite verses will bring the comfort of the Holy Spirit to you: Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 57:1-2 The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; she enters into peace; they rest tin their beds who walk in their uprightness. 1Corinthians 15:55-57 “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Thessalonians 4:13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 1Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. We remember with fondness our time of service and ministry at Sturgis Wesleyan Church years ago. Gary, we remember you and Dorothy for your kind words and support to us in our ministry.
