Erika and family – I am so sorry for your loss. Words can’t convey the depth of the sorrow, but please know I’m praying for you and will make a donation in Christian’s memory to the St. Luke Church.
Thinking of you all in this difficult time. Christian certainly lived an extraordinary life and will be missed.
ÌAlthough we don’t know you personally, please accept our deepest sympathy for the recent loss of your loved one, Christian. You may feel like what the Bible says at Psalms 119:28 – “I weep with grief. My heart is heavy with sorrow. Encourage and cheer me with your words.” First Corinthians 15:26 says death is our enemy, and it truly is. But there will be an end to death, an end to sorrow and depression, You can be comforted by Jesus’ words in Revelation 21:3, 4: “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. The former things have passed away.” May these promises from God sustain you during this difficult time.
Erika, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You have been in our thoughts and your PW family is here for you.
I send my deepest condolences for your loss. I used to babysit Christian when he was just a 2-year-old and I have such fond memories of him as a playful little boy. You are all in my prayers.
Erika,
Please accept our condolences and sympathy for your loss. His kindness and humor will be missed by everyone who was blessed by knowing him.
Dear Erika: I am infinitely sorry for the passing of your wonderful husband Christian. I will pray that you will be comforted by the abiding presence of his spirit as evidenced in your love for him and his for you–a love that is eternal and invincible.
