    Carol was a dear friend, but once we both left NJ, we only kept in touch through the mail, so I was quite surprised to learn of her passing just a few days ago. Carol will be missed, but I'm happy that her suffering has come to an end. I know you'll give my love to our mutual friend, Carol, and I know I'll see you again someday.

    I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.
