My sincere condolences to the Finkbeiner Family. I have so many memories of spending time with your parents that they have become part of me. So much laughter, wise advice, a few tears and most of all being made to feel like family will remain with me forever. They were such positive role models for all of us, I know how much they will be missed.

Condolence from Oti A on April 4th, 2018 8:39 AM

To the entire Finkbeiner Family.

I wish to express my sincere condolence to the entire family.
Loosing someone in death is painful because its not natural to us as humans. Irene lived a good and long life but would still be missed by all. Personally I have come to realize that one of the best ways to cope is relying on Gods word in the Bible. The creator of heaven and earth promises to do away with death and bring back those in the grave by means of the resurrection. Acts 24:15 speaks about the resurrection of our dead loved ones and Revelation 21: 3-4 talks about a time when there will be no more death. These promises are faithful and true because its from the God that will not tell a lie. Please find time to read those scripture because it will go a long way in comforting the entire family.
To the entire family I will like to say please be strong and courageous in this time of your great loss.
Please accept my sincere condolence.

Oti
