I was saddened to learn of Mike’s passing away. I am thinking of the family and lifting them up in prayer and for everyone to lean on the Lord for comfort and strength during this grieving period plus throughout the rest of your lives. Please be assured that He loves us and knows all of our pain, struggles and sufferings in life. May you know the peace and love of the Lord.
Dear Barberi family, I would like to offer my sympathy. During this very difficult time I hope that you are able to find comfort and stregnth through prayer and God’s Word the Bible. When I have experienced loss this was a great help to me. A few encouraging verses are Revelation 21:4, Isaiah 25:8, and John 5:28,29. I hope these verses are comforting to you.
