With their expert knowledge of the cryptocurrency realm, they successfully traced my missing funds and managed to recover $75,000 of my hard-earned savings. Finding a reliable company that could deliver results left me immensely grateful and relieved. My Bitcoin recovery odyssey was a rollercoaster of emotions, from despair to relief. Thanks to Web Genie Recovery, I was able to recover a significant portion of my lost savings and move forward with peace of mind.

Melissa and family,

My heart-felt condolences in the loss of your precious child. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you traverse the days, weeks, and months ahead. May the Lord comfort you and guide you, for only He knows the reasons Mel was taken so soon. By faith, we know that Life is Eternal, Love is Immortal, Death is only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing bit the limit of our earthly sight. Keep your memories close at heart, and allow them to comfort and shelter you. Sending you lots of love, wrapped in an enormous hug! <3

THERE WILL BE A DAY ~ Jeremy Camp

I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
That we will enter in this rest with wonders anew

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you've walked out all alone

Troubled soul don't lose your heart
'Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
There will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always

I can't wait until that day where the very one
I've lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I've faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame
And misery, this is why, this is why I sing

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day, He'll wipe away the tears,
He'll wipe away the tears, He'll wipe away the tears

There will be a day

“Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood”
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
The child is father of the man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
(Wordsworth, "My Heart Leaps Up")
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind. …
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the simplest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

With deepest sympathy, Melvin, to you and all your family
Jeanne McLaughlin and family

First I'd like to say that I'm very sorry for the loss of Melvin :-( because I roughly knew him well and is younger brother Kalani and the three younger sisters I know we'll also. I never really got close with him but I'll always remember who he was and what he was involved in. So to conclude this comment, I am sending my condolences to the whole Zehr family due to the loss of Melvin...R.I.P. and please play a lot of soccer in heaven for me. ~Ian Miller~

Oh how painful this chapter of your lives! What a tragically short life of someone with so much promise. Yet everyone's days are numbered from the moment of birth according to our Creator. Someday, sometime we will understand. For now, accept the love and comfort from those close by as you gradually adjust to this abrupt change. You are loved and deeply cared for.
