Our heartfelt condolences to the family of Ruth Britt Tyler. Words cannot express the pain we feel when we lose our dear loved ones. Our prayer is that you may find comfort through God’s Word, the Bible. Isaiah 25:8 tells us: 'He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” May you be strengthened and comforted during this time of loss.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Tyler family. Please take comfort in the bibles promise of the time when tears, death and pain will be no more. Rev.21:3, 4 May the God of comfort be with you during this difficult time.
