Brother and Sister Strickland: so sorry about the loss of your son. I know you loved him deeply and will miss him much. But we don't sorrow as those who have no hope, we know those who live for Jesus will enjoy a much better life after this one is over. May God's comfort heal and sustain both of you in this difficult hour.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
