    Dear Frey family, The purpose for this condolence is to share some Encouragement. Nothing can prepare us for the death of a child, parent, spouse or, relative. The pain of death cannot be eluded and, its finality can be devastating. Relatives and friends can bring us comfort. I turned to the bible for the much needed comfort. We will see our dead loved ones again. The bible says here is Going to be a resurrection Acts 24:15. 100 percent of what is said in the bible comes true. When you are ready, perhaps I can assist you in finding additional encouragement. God’s Word and time will bring you encouragement and strength to deal with the grief. This pain you might think will never end. Having lost 2 children in their twenties my father when I was 4 and he was 35. My mother in 2008, I can somewhat empathize with what you are feeling. In the interim please visit our website JW.org for additional comfort, wholesome movies, and additional helpful information.
    Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Sincerely Kind Christian Regards, Ron Padlo ronaldpadlo@ yahoo.com2530 Fifth Street, Peru Illinois 61354

  2. Dear Shawn and family,
