My deepest condolence to the Akhaphong family for the loss of your dear loved one. As you holdfast to the warm memories, may Gods’ promises at Revelation 21:4, be a comfort in your time of grief and recovery, knowing that there is a hope where the day will come when individuals will no longer suffer such anguish and will be reunited with the ones they treasure.
