It is with deep sadness we offer our condolences for the passing of your beloved Joseph. May you find comfort in God because he cares for you.

To the family of Mr. Bednarz May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time in your lives. We yearn for better conditions, it's so refreshing to know that God's word speaks of a time when all sorrows will be gone and that mankind will live in beautiful surroundings with nothing to fear Isaiah 65:17-21 will shed light on this matter.

Sincerely,
