    I can't even find the words to say how much you meant to us Bro. Rob. Heaven is surely so much sweeter with you there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bestie! I love you more than you will ever know! May God bring you peace that only He can during the days to come.

    My deepest sympathy to the Powell family. Praying that you are comforted by the God of all comfort who supports us in times of grief. God offers lasting relief in his promise that sickness and death will cease and he will restore life to all who are in his memory, Acts 24:15. May you look forward to the fulfillment of God's promise that there is a new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting and in these righteousness will dwell, 2 Peter 3:13, Psalms 37:9-11, 29. No pain of any kind will exist there as God will open his hands and satisfy the desire of every living thing, Psalms 145:16. May God's promise comfort you during your time of bereavement.
