  13. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. May the Lord bless you all with peace and comfort at this most difficult time.

  14. To the Hooten family. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss, 14 years old is way to young to pass, When I lost my Dad 11 years ago at the age of 74 and thought that was to young. Although I didn’t know Jack personally, I can see how much he has contributed to your family’s happiness. I can’t imagine how extremely painful it must be to loose someone so close to us and at such a young age, but the comfort that I received from God’s word was so helpful, because it gave me a hope. Jesus’ words at John 5:28+29 and Isaiah 25:8 were so comforting to me. Please read them yourself to see why .

  15. To the Hooten family. Please accept my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Live from the Graham family

  16. Jalyn and Jim Sivells

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I am sure your family is devastated. Our condolences and prayers. Please pass on my love to LaRue, many hugs.

  17. I’m so sorry for your loss. Very soon now God will restore things on earth to the way he meant them to be before his first human creations rebelled. Revelation 21:4 promises us that God will completely eliminate death, mourning, and pain. Imagine that! No suffering of any kind anymore! Isaiah 33:24 promises, “no resident will say: “I am sick.” So no more physical or emotional sickness. Psalm 37:10,11 assures us that wickedness will be removed from the earth. Imagine the peace that will exist then. And the Bible also promises us that during this time, all those sleeping in death will be brought back to life. (1 Thessalonians 4:13; John 5:28,29; Isaiah 26:19) What a wonderful hope that is- to welcome back our loved ones to perfect health and conditions forever!

    Until that time comes, our loving heavenly Father assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he is “close to the brokenhearted” and verse 15 says that “he listens to our cry for help.” So rest assured that he understands your pain and grief and is eager to help you by giving you the strength you need to cope with your loss. (Philippians 4:13)

  18. The Gonzalez Family
