So Sorry for the loss of such a handsome young man couldn’t believe just saw him a week ago watching the chieftains play on the tv love and prayers
My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathy over the loss of Kyle. May you find comfort in your loving memories and the warmth of family and friends. A scripture that has uplifted me during times such as this is found at Revelation 21:4. There it describes a time when death and pain will be gone forever after God restores his original purpose for the earth. We will even see our loved ones again who we have lost in death (John 5:28 & 29). It is our hope that these words bring you a measure of comfort during this difficult time as well. Once again, please accept our condolences as you deal with your loss.
Thinking of you all and sending my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Hugs…..
