To the family I was very sorry to read Erika N. Mitchell passed away, I have not met the family personally but it's my hope that you gain the needed strength to endure, because when we lose someone we love the loss seems too great to bear. However remembering Jesus gave his own perfect life as the basis for removing from mankind the curse of imperfection, sickness and death is a comforting thought. Also the bible says, Soon God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed awayÖRevelation 21:4 I hope it will give the family comfort too. My deepest sympathy to the family.
