In this time of sadness, please accept our deepest sympathy on the lost of your loved one. The prayers of all our staff and of the residents of the Bridgeway Christian Village are certainly with you in these difficult hours.

In the silence and emptiness of your bereavement, turn within to your heart, and know that God is your strength and is with you throughout these difficult days.


“I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at last will stand upon the earth;
And after my body has wasted away,
Then without flesh I shall see God,
Whom I shall see for myself,
And my eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.”
Job 19:25-27
