Dear Patterson Family,
My son Walter (Fairport graduate 2014) and I extend love, caring and support during this time of grief and transition. Bless all your hearts now and as they try to heal on this life’s journey.
To the Patterson family, I would like to extend my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. I too have lost members of my family, unexpectedly, and I understand the grief and sorrow that you are feeling at this time. During times as this, many have a measure of comfort in the pages of the Bible. In God’s word, the Bible, we find the promise that we can be reunited with our loved ones (John 5:28,29). It also tells us where this happy reunion will take place (Psalm 37:11,29). Until then, may you be strengthened and comforted by the promises of Our Creator as you cope with the difficult days ahead (2 Corinthians 1:3,4). May I assure you, I am not trying to give, or change your religion. The pain of loss is felt, regardless of religion.
Dear Jim and Tracie so many things could be said at a time such as this but words cannot express the heartfelt loss I share with you all as I have watched your children grow. May God’s power and strength lift you up at this time of such a Great loss
There is an answer for all our questions and someday we will have those answers but for now may you all know that my prayers and support are with you as I feel a Great loss as well. My heart is broken for you both! It’s now that we lean on God and his power to get us through until we meet again and get the answers we so much desire.Prayers of strength and peace are what I’m praying everyday for you both and for your family.
