I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to Florence’s family. No matter how long a life is lived filled with love, death still hurts. May you find comfort and peace in the Bible’s promise of that “last enemy”, death, being done away with forever. “He will wipe out every tear from their eye and death will be no more. Neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” – Revelation 21:3,4
