Our sincerest condolences to you and family. We wanted to share a scripture that bought us comfort when our brother and father both died. It's found at Revelation chapter 21: 3,4 it reads,"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Please know that others care and we pray that God may grant you strength in the days ahead.

I'm so sorry to hear of Sammy’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

My condolences to Sammy’s family. We live in a world were so many loved ones fall asleep in death. Much sorrow is experienced by this enemy but the Bible says death will be done away with. This promise along with the resurrection hope is very comforting. 1 Corinthians 15:26 and John 5:28,29

This pretty well makes it final, doesn't it. Love to all the family including all our cousins. I am so happy that Sam is at peace now, he missed Betty so much, even after all these years. He loved his family with all his heart. We will all miss him and I will miss the phone calls that started with hello, this is Sammy Wish.
