Dear Family of David Nesbitt: May you find comfort with the loss of your loved one through conversations with family and friends, perhaps by looking at collected photographs and with happy memories. Most importantly, may you find comfort through prayer to Our Heavenly father, Jehovah as he is "The God of comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation." (2Corinthains 1:3,4)
