Dear Key Family:

While I did not know Mr. Key personally, I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to the family. The Bible tells us that "death, the last enemy will be brought to nothing."
(1 Corinthians 15:26) Soon all those who have fallen asleep in death will be resurrected. This called the Resurrection Hope. "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." (Acts 24:15) Jesus demonstrated this when he resurrected his friend Lazarus from the bondage of death (John 11:11-14) (John 11:38-44). I sincerely hope that you will find these scriptures encouraging, and I encourage you to look them up in your personal Bible.

Sincerely,
Sister Hughes

I remember Billy when I was a little girl. He always made me laugh and always had time to sit and play with us. I remember he was such a kind person. My prayers and condolences to the family. Billy was my father's brother.
