“We assemble here today to share with this family their sorrow and loss. As we are admonished to do in the scriptures ‘to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.’ While we experience sorrow, we sorrow not as those who have no hope for our God who created us and planned for our earthly pilgrimage has also planned for life to continue through eternity. There isn’t anything that will help us more as we journey along life’s way than a firm faith and hope in God’s promise of what awaits us at the end of the journey. It makes it easier to say goodby to parting loved ones and friends for we look forward to a reunion.”
