To the Andersen Family, I would like to extend my deepest condolences. I did not know Mr. Andersen, but I have lost a dear loving father in death. I find much comfort from the Bible where it assures us that "Our Heavenly Father will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
