To The Gibson Family:
My family and I are saddened by the loss of your loved one. Hope was such a beautiful person inwardly and outwardly an inspiration to many. We considered her a part of our family. Find comfort in these words. God is there to comfort you during this difficult time. Treasure the love and the memories that the Good Lord has provided. He will never leave your nor forsake you. 1 Peter 1:3-9 â��Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by Godâ��s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faithâ�"of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fireâ�"may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.â�� This is not the end. We will see her again on the day when our Lord and Saviour returns to get all of his children. We love you dearly. Peace Be With You All. You are in our Prayers.
Lovingly,
The Garland Family
