Dear Gerak family, My heartfelt condolences are extended to you all for the loss of your dear loved one, Alvera. Although this time is no doubt difficult to bear, I hope that you will be able to draw much comfort from the words of our loving heavenly Father. At John 5:28 & 29, God promises, “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus Christ's] voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.”​ How we look forward to that wonderful time, when we will be reunited with our loved ones who have passed away! Until this loving promise is fulfilled, may reflecting on the fond memories you shared with Ms. Gerak also bring you solace at this difficult time.
