Condolence: Dear Bates family, Please accept my condolences for your loss. I hope during this difficult time you can find comfort from Gods word. One scripture I like to share is found in Isaiah 25:8 where it promises “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from the earth, For Jehovah himself has spoken it.” Sincerely, Cindy
