Claudia Jarrett claudia.jarrett@snow.edu So very sorry to see in the newspaper of a beautiful little boy of only three months having to leave you and return to his Heavenly Father. Please know that my thoughts are with you and my deepest sympathies go out to you. Love, Claudia Tim and Jamie Lerzo jamielerzo@yahoo.com To the family of little J.T. Joyner. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of little J.T. His picture is beautiful! We experienced a similar loss in December with the death of our only grandbaby, Jonas. He was only 12 days old. Our hurt is still very deep. But one thing that helps us is to share the comfort we found with others that are grieving. One scripture that is very comforting is Isaiah 41:10,13. It says in part: "I am grasping your right hand." God will give you the strength you need to endure if you just grab tight hold of his hand and lean on him. Soon Revelation 21:4 will be fulfilled, which says: "And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Another thing that helped our family, especially our daughter and son-in-law was a brochure called: "When Someone You Love Dies". We have an extra copy if you would like to have it. Please feel free to email us. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are will you at this time. Tim and Jamie Lerzo
