To the family of Mrs. S. Cooper:
I wanted to offer my condolence to all at this time of loss. It can be quite heavy on the heart at the passing of a loved one. I hope that family and friends continue to offer words of soothing comfort to one another in this time of reflection. I also wanted to provide a bit of scriptual encouragement from the Bible. In a copy of the Bible please read JOHN 11:5 to 45. In that account Jesus suffered the loss of a dear friend and experienced heartfelt pain behind that loss. He was empowered to reverse that loss to the joy of the family and friends of the loved one. I pray that you too may find a secure hope and genuine joy from the reading of this passage of scriptual history. Jesus’ father is a God of comfort and provides comfort for those who want and need comfort when we reflect on his words and actions within the Holy Bible. Take care to all and I send my sincere compassion and fellow feelings to the family and friends of Mrs.S. Cooper.
