To The Pruitt Family: I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear love. Words cannot express the pain and sorrow that you feel. However, please find comfort in God's promise found in the Bible at John chapter 5, verses 28&29. It reads: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life." You have my sincere condolence.
