Dear Aunt Susan and family, think of all of you on this very difficult day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Linda (Unger) and Mario Silva.
Dear Unger Family: I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that has given me comfort when I have lost loved ones. It is found at John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes w have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.
