Dear Eleanor,
Please accept my condolences. I am so happy that John accepted the gift of forgiveness Jesus offered. I also rejoice that, as the Gospel song - The Family of God - written by Bill Gaither 50 years ago says 'I'm so glad I'm a part of the family of God' means that because I belong to the family of God that I will see John again. Aren't you glad that you belong to God's family?
Thank you for allowing me to pronounce you husband and wife plus welcoming me to your home and the nursing home.
God bless you.
Pastor Klob
