Dear Krystal and family,
Please know that you and your children, as well as your husband's extended family, remain in the thoughts and prayers of our church family. There are no words or understanding of why this happened to your family, no words to ease your pain and loneliness, but I pray that our loving God will give you the strength you need at this time, the love that only He can provide and that each day will become a bit better for you.
In Christ's love,

We can not express in words our deepest sorrows except to say, we are praying that the peace of God that "passeth all understanding" will be of help in this time of grieving. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
With love in Christ,
