Condolence: To the Elliott Family
When your life is touched by someone so special you can't help but feel the loss.  I hope that you find comfort in Psalms 36:9 know that God is the source of life. And Job 14:14,15 where we are reminded that the source of life wants to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. I pray that you find  peace.

Condolence: I wanted to express my deep sympathy to the Elliot family. There's such a sense of helplessness when someone we love dies. I'd like to share with you some scriptural thoughts that really helped me. Prayer is so valuable at a time like this, but it's not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor. 4:7 says that God can give us, "...power beyond what is normal" to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we can recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, "...all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out". Jesus was referring to the resurrection: this is our hope that helps us recover and gives us power to go on. 2 Cor. 1:3 describes our Creator as, "...the God of all comfort". One way God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragment that we need to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
