Liz Hall wrote a sympathy message

“To: Family of Manford Blair From: Liz Hall (LB & Debbie Grimmett's Sister) I am so sorry for your loss. Words can't begin to express how you must feel at this sad time. Please read the comforting thoughts at Revelation 21:3, 4. That hope is not wishful thinking but is based on God’s promise to remove the causes of our pain. No more will we get sick and die, but in the near future, we will enjoy life on a paradise on earth forever. Sending prayers for all in the family.”
