My prayer of deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family for the lost of your husband, William.

You don't know me, but I read the obituary about William and I wanted to share one thing that helped me through the lost of a loved one, because when death strikes in a family your grief can be so great.

A solution to help you cope with your sorrow is to "DRAW CLOSE TO GOD IN PRAYER BECAUSE HE PROMISES THAT HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU."
Psalm 55:22

Hope the Lord travels with Billy in his new journey.
