Dear Shell Family,
Please accept my deep and heartfelt condolences. In this time of grieving, remember that God truly does care for you and understands your pain. He cares so much for you that each of your tears shed in sadness are precious to him. Fortunately one day soon, God promises that only tears of JOY will be filling our eyes as we are reunited with our lost loved ones because God firmly promises that he will swallow up death forever and resurrect all those sleeping in death. May you fully rely on God and his wonderful promises in this difficult time.
