I am so sorry to hear of the death of Riant. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. May your cherished memories bring you comfort and a measure of joy at this difficult time. Please find peace and hope through our Creator who the bible calls “the Father of tender mercies and God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3)
