I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Thomas Agro Jr. I did not know him personally, but I am sure that he was dearly loved and will most certainly be missed. Losing a loved one in death can be a heartbreaking experience. However, please know that God cares about you and takes note of the pain and sadness you feel. (Psalm 34:18) God has promised that soon, no one will lose a loved one in death again. (Isaiah 25:8) We can look forward to the time when we can enjoy life again with our loved ones who have died. (John 5:28, 29) How wonderful that will be! We can be confident in the fulfillment of these promises because they were promised by God and it is impossible for him to lie. (Titus 1:2) I hope that these thoughts will provide a measure of comfort in this time of sadness.
Thinking of you Tommy at this difficult time for you and your family.
Mr. V.
