    My condolences to the Miller family. I know this is a difficult time and I pray God continues to comfort and strengthen the family during this time of bereavement. May the many cherished and fond memories of James continue to comfort his family and friends. A comforting thought is at Psalm 147:3 "He (God) heals the brokenhearted; he binds up their wounds." May you all have calming and pleasant thoughts during this time.

    To The Family, Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences, Truly the loss of a loved ones is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4"And He will wipe out every tear from 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" Yes, We look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away forever. For more encouraging information from the Bible.
