I’m very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear the news about Nelson. He was very pleasant to be around. I have been praying for you all. I know God can certainly give you strength and encouragement at this time. Love you all.
My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Hicks. Losing someone close can be difficult but the God provid3s comfort through his word. Revelation 21:4 speaks of a time when death, pain and mourning will be no more.
My sincere condolences to the Hicks family. May the fond memories of times you shared bring you comfort, while God’s promise of a future resurrection, found at John 5:28 & 29, brings you hope during this difficult time. My deepest sympathy to you all.
So sorry to hear about Nelson. I always enjoyed the time I spent with him. He was a very kind man
So sorry to hear of your daddy’s passing. Send prayers and hugs your way Joni.
