Familia Torres,
God’s Word instills in us his tremendous strength, truth, and power during times of loss. Please be comforted by Revelation 21:4, “For he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Our prayers are with you Familia Torres. Dios los bendiga
Alvarez Family from San Antonio, TX.
