Condolence: My heartfelt condolence to the family and friends of Manuel. The death of a loved one is hard to bear. Your heavenly father understands your pain as he, too, experienced the death of his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Just as he raised his son to life, we are promised the hope of a resurrection for our dead loved ones, John 5:28, 29 and John 3:16. Until then, may the God of comfort, comfort your family, helping you to heal, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17.
