Even so...
"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words."
--1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
My father passed away last night and I'm heading to Minneapolis to be with my family for a few weeks. Please keep us in your prayers as we mourn for losing him but rejoice in the comfort that he is with the Lord and we will one day be reunited.

We are praying for you...
Shannon,
We trust your father is with the Lord, yet we mourn with you at his passing. We love you Shannon.

Shannon, Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as you go through this time of loss. We also rejoice with your family that your father has gone on to his reward. I bet my folks were there to greet him.
Craig, Mary and the boys.
Shannon,
I couldn't believe it when I heard. YOu know that we, too, are praying for you and your family. Trusting and knowing that your dad is "home" now we pray that adds comfort in the midst of this time of mourning.
