I’d like to offer my condolences and prayers to George’s family & friends.
Though I did not know George, he was a
WWII veteran, the kind that inspired
those of us involved in Vietnam. As such,
George will be remembered by me with respect and a salute. May God bless his
family.
I am very sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. Death can be hard to cope with, but we can draw comfort from the scriptures. John 5:28,29 says: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” So, one day soon, God is going to remove death from the earth and reunite us with our dear loved ones. (Isaiah 25:8) God always fulfills his promises. (Joshua 21:45)
