We the family with heavy hearts, bow our heads in humble submission to the Will of the All Knowing, Loving, Kind, Wise God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things.

We are today comforted by the words of Our Lord in Revelations 21:4 which says: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
