Dear Family of Roy Chaffin,
I would like to express my sincere sympathy. I was born and raised in Louisa, so when I read about your family member passing away I wanted to reach out to your family.
It was not too long ago that my own family suffered a tragic loss of a much loved family member. You can be sure that hope and comfort are found in the pages of the Bible.
1 Corinthians 15: 54 tells us of a future promise that GOD made to "swallow up death forever". It is also wonderful to learn of this promise from
John 5:21, " For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes alive whomever he wants to.
I really hope these promises will bring you as much comfort as they continue to bring my family.
Please keep those good memories of your loved one close.
Sincerely Mrs. Sandra Watkins
