To the Bartley family: I wanted to share my condolence to all the members of Mr. Bartley’s loved ones during this time of sorrow. It can weigh heavy on the mind when we experience the loss of those we deeply care for. I wanted to share some encouragemnet with you from the Holy scriptures related to an experience that the son of God dealt with in his time while on earth. In the Bible at JOHN 11:5 to 45 you can read of the sorrow Jesus and others suffered at the loss of a close and dear friend. However, Jesus was empowered to do something to reverse that loss to the joy of many involved in that situation. Soon Jesus shall do the same for many of us that have suffered the loss of our loved ones also. It is my sincere hope you find comfort from this reading from a copy of the Bible. May the family find the courage to become a source of courage for one another also. Take care and much affection and fellow feeling to you all.
