Dear Arcuri Family: I am so sorry to have read of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be of comfort. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.
Arthur and family, I am sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Arcuri Family,
With sincere condolences, I know that you have many many beautiful loving memories to remember in this hard time. He is now at peace and with his loved ones who passed on before. Be assured that you will one day all be together again.
