"I tried to convey a sense of hope for you because I truly believe God knows our hearts and he knows if we are his children.  At Brian’s baptism God made him a child of faith.  And we believe that that faith remains throughout life and that God knows us as his own.  Of that we can be certain.

I pray that God will continue to bring you strength and comfort, and the sure knowledge that your son is with him.  God continue to be with you.

In Christ Jesus, Peace and Joy,

Pastor Paul"
