Psalm 34:18
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
And He will raise you up on eagles’ wings;
Bear you on the breath of dawn;
Make you to shine like the sun;
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
My heart aches for you & your family. It has been a joy in our life to know Garrett.
“Because of the tender mercy of our God, where by the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace“ Luke 1:78-79
We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
I am so sorry for your loss, I hope this prayer can bring your family some comfort in the days ahead. ❤️
Kathy I pray for you and your family during this difficult time. O pray for Garret to have peace as God welcomes him home. Psalm 23.
Dearest Garrett,
Rest in peace, and may your perpetual light shine brightly. I know you are resting peacefully in the arms of our Lord. 😇🙏
