Re: Letter of Condolence
To: The Family of Brother Plumer Reed, Sr.
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Although words are inadequate at a time like this, the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Family would be remiss if we did not take a moment to acknowledge the great loss that you have suffered. For Jesus said, "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted".
It is our sincere prayer that these heartfelt words will bring comfort to the family during your time of grief. Though it may seem hard now, we encourage you to remember that although your soul may be weary with sorrow, the Lord will strengthen you according to His word. For God, Himself, will wipe every tear from your eye and he will give you peace, "that passeth all understanding".
And while you will miss Brother Plumer Reed, Sr. please do not begrudge his rest. He has become free, safe, immortal, and ranges joyous through the boundless heavens. He has left this lowly region and has soared upward to that place which receives in its happy bosom the souls set free from the chains of matter. Brother Reed has not lost the light of day, but has obtained more enduring light. He has not left you but has gone on before.
In Christ’s Service I Remain,
Pastor Tommy Ray and Sandra Jackson and the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Family
