To The Family of Ina Margaret Sherman
请允许我向在座的每一位致以最深切的慰问。虽然我们素未谋面，但当至亲离世时，那种痛楚我们却都感同身受。
我们的天父深切体会到你此刻的痛苦。当祂创造第一对男女时，祂的旨意是让他们及其后代——包括我们——都能永生，不受疾病与死亡的侵扰。
他的旨意从未改变，因为他应许那一天很快就会到来——届时，他将永远擦去我们眼中的悲伤之泪，死亡也将不复存在。
他还承诺，你的亲人、我的亲人以及许多其他人都会听到他的声音，并从纪念墓穴中走出来。
I loved Aunt Ina. She was so kind. My fondest memory was riding to Montana in her and Uncle Jim’s camper when I was 11 and sitting in back with Aunt Ina playing cribbage and eating fiddle faddle. This a a late comment and I don’t know if the family will receive it.
