The death of a loved one can be a very challenging time for everyone in the family. Coping with a loss is difficult and at times overwhelming. For many Gods word is a source of encouragement. While I dont know your family I have experienced losing a loved one in death and relying on the hope the Bible offers has helped. For instance Phillipians 4:13 gives us the strength to continue enduring. We also have the hope of the resurrection found at John 5:28,29. I sincerely hope that these scriptures help you in your times of sorrow.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop 391 and want you to know that we will all miss Ed. He was an asset to the unit and I know he is irreplacable. I knew him for 13 years and always enjoyed his stories- just wish I could have been of more assistance. If you need anything don't hesitate to get in touch. God bless you all.

Ed was a brother PICKEREL vet and member of Hampton Roads Base, U.S. Submarine Veterans, Inc., which is how I knew him. I was so sorry to hear that he had shoved off on Eternal Patrol. My deepest sympathy and most sincere condolences to his family.
