Linda,
So sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. Thinking of you and your family.
To the Gudenkauf Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy. I know this is a difficult time. The grief that is felt when we lose a loved one can be unbearable. At such times, we can go to God’s word for comfort. God too feels hurt when an individual dies. That is why the encouragement found at Revelation 21:4 assure us that “He will remove sorrow and death will be no more.” According to this scripture, there will come a time when those we have lost in death will be brought back by means of a resurrection by Almighty God. May your family find the comfort that God makes available to all persons. Knowing that your pain is in his heart. Fittingly he is called the “God of All comfort…”1 Corinthians 1:3&4 May God be with you .May you feel his loving embrace and may he sustain you during this difficult time.
Linda,
I am so sorry to learn of your husband’s passing. May God give you and your family strength to carry on and peace and comfort from your precious memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
