Our sincere condolences. David and Sue Holland
To Alice and the family of Mr. Deering, I know that this is a very difficult time for you. We as humans were never meant to experience the pain of losing a loved one to death. God’s purpose for us is that we live forever on the earth in perfect health and perfect conditions. The Bible mentions a time when the ones who have passed away will rise again in John 5:28,29. Take comfort in knowing that you will see Joseph again. Please accept my condolences.
So very sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. (BDM & MITRE employee)
