Our sincerest sympathy to the Abrams family. Over the last 7 months we had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Abrams. He was a kind, funny man who was very obviously proud of his family. Family Night will not be the same without him there. He will be missed.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. May the memories of happy times and the love of family and friends encourage you in the days ahead. May the scriptures comfort you and give you hope and strength. Please hold on to the hope that only God can give as highlighted at Matthew 6:10 and Psalm 37:11 and 29 where we are reminded that it is God's will that we live forever in the abundance of peace and exquisite delight under His Kingdom that is soon to come to this earth.
