Edna,
I am praying that Our Father will give you His all powerful love and strength right now and in the many many days to come.
I knew what a very kind and sweet man Jack was. His smile would light a room.
Edna. Just got to know you recently and just now (New Years day) I see this.
My heart can’t tell how you feel as I’ve never experienced losing a spouse but I can imagine how you feel. My love and sympathy goes to you and loved ones.
My love sent and I’m so glad I met you.
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I hope the words found at Revelation 21:4 brings comfort.
