Condolence: I wanted to send my love and sympathies to the Evans and Sleep families. I know the Anniversary of your dear loved one, Izaak, is approaching. No doubt this has brought back to mind some emotional thoughts and feelings of sadness, but hopefully you're able to reflect on the good memories you've had as well. Keep in mind that beautiful promise found in God's Word, at John 5:28,29, which says, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. So as you reflect on the times spent with Izaak, keep this comforting thought in mind for the days ahead. There will soon be a time when we'll not only be able to welcome our loved ones back to life, but we can truly experience the words "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:4) My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: I want to send my deep love, sympathies, and prayers to the Evans and Sleep families. I am so sorry to learn of the recent loss of your little one Izaak. When we lose someone we love in death, it's hard enough to cope. But when we lose a loved one at such a young age, it is even more devastating. And while I know you're in pain now, "the God of all comfort" recognizes the hurt that you are experiencing. Rest assured that Almighty God is not the cause of death, neither does he take our loved ones away from us to be with him. On the contrary, the Bible provides comfort at Isaiah 25:8, which says, "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." So not only will Jehovah God eliminate death, but all the feelings of pain that come with losing a loved one in death will also be a thing of the past. We will truly be able to experience the promise that "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:4,5)

Condolence: Rest in eternal peace, sweet baby. My love and prayers to the family.
