My condolences. It is my hope that these words of the Holy Scriptures, prove to be supportive in this difficult and painful time…..

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

I am so heart broken for you, Susie! I know there is nothing I can say to make the pain go away. Just know that you and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers. I will cherish the memories of all of us together and look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

Dear Susie and Family,
I'm so very sorry to hear of Paul's passing.  I feel so badly that you have to endure this loss.  We don't think we will lose loved ones until much later in life and I know it must have been a shock to all of you when he became ill a few months ago.  I wish I could have been at the service last night, I'm sorry I wasn't there to give you my condolences in person.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope each day and memory brings you at least a little bit of peace and comfort.  
Love, Jodi
