I offer my heartfelt condolences to Evonne and the Fossen family and friends of Douglas. Our loving heavenly Father gives us hope at Revelations 21: 4 says: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: “And no resident will say “I am sick,” ever again. May these promises from Jehovah God (Psalm 83:18) bring you comfort. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 11:23-25)
Evonne, I haven’t seen you for awhile as I have not been ushering at the aisle where you and Doug usually sit. We are sad emotionally as we miss Doug but rejoicing that he is with his Savior Jesus Christ and totally well. We will see him again! John and Lynne Cooke
