I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Larry Gutheim. I did not know him personally, but I am sure that he was dearly loved and certainly will be missed. Even though the loss of a loved one can bring great pain, please know that you are by no means alone. Not only do you have the support of your family and friends, but God also takes note of how you feel and "he is near to the brokenhearted." (Psalm 34:18) God has promised that soon no one will lose a loved one in death again. (Revelation 21:4) We can also look forward to enjoying life again with our loved ones who have passed away in death. (John 5:28, 29) I hope that these thoughts will provide a measure of comfort in this time of sadness.
