Much Love your forever friend Sandy
We’re so sorry for your loss of your sweet Amy.
Jesus said to Martha, “Your brother, Lazarus, will rise again…I am the
resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet
shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never
die.” John 11:25-26
While we may not know each other well, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate through this period of grief.
Losing a sister is undoubtedly a profound loss, and no words can fully express the sorrow that comes with such an event. We can only hope that you find comfort in the cherished memories you shared together and the love that continues to bind you even in her absence.
‘Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints’ – Psalms 116:15
