Our deepest sympathy to the families in the loss of Cleveland. May the Lord continue to hold you in the palm of His hands as you go through the difficult days ahead. Of great comfort to me is Revelation 21:4: "And God shall wipe away ALL tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Love, Glenda Gene Danny
