Dear Ferguson family, I am saddened to learn that you’re mourning the loss of your dear love one. It saddens our God even more. No doubt, you have many fond memories that will resurface from time to time. And because you have memories, there’s no doubt that Almighty God has memories as well. Therefore, with full confidence you can take comfort in knowing that he longs to restore perfect life to all those who are safely locked in his loving memory. (Job 14:13-15; John 5:28,29) Please accept my condolences at this most distressing time.
