Dear Forsythe family, I'm sorry to read of your loved one's passing and may all find comfort in our Lord's word during this time of sadness. In John 11:23-26; “Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”. A wonderful promise from our Lord Jesus that we can believe and have confidence in. May we all find peace in knowing our loved ones who have passed on are now in the care of our Lord God who has shown his great love for us through his Beloved Son. Rest in peace dear brother, your reward is waiting. God's continued blessings be upon you all. John Lunsford / Chapel Hill church of Christ
