I am sorry for your loss please accept my deepest sympathy. I hope you will find your strength and comfort in Jesus promises of the earthly resurrection(:Acts 24:15) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will have to mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4; Luke 23:43. May GOD(Psalms 83:18) grant you peace and comfort now during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.
Dear Bryant family, It is so sad to read that Dub passed away. May your memories of him as well as God-given hope of being reunited with him one day bring you the peace and comfort at this time. John 5:28,29 - "...the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life."
