We are so very sorry for your loss. We pray that “the peace of
God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts
and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus” as you
deal with the intense grief that comes with losing your loved
one. (Phillipians 4:6, 7)
The Bible assures us that God “is near to those that are
broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.”
(Psalm 34:18) We look forward with you to the time when we
will be able to welcome our loved ones back! (John 5:28, 29)
Rest in peace dad. Love you.
We are all so sorry to hear of Monroe's passing. We are
praying for the family during this difficult time. God bless and
be near to all of you. The Kade family.
