  2. I'm afraid I never had the chance to meet any of the Swifts, but I have read the news articles, and my heart sank. Tiffany, if you are reading this, I promise I will be praying for you. Keep the faith, and never give up on God. I know right now, it's easier said than done, but I will make sure to have all I know keep you in their prayers. Remain as strong as you can, and remember that you are not alone in this world! Look to the story of Job. Maybe that will give you some hope or encouragement. Anyways...Be strong.

  3. I read the news articles and my deepest sympathy goes out to the Swifts family. I too have lost loved ones. My daughter passed away when she was a few days short of being 12 years old. What helped me was the Bible's promise of a resurrection. It is found at John 5:28,29 which says: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out,..." I hope this promise will be comforting to the family and friends. If they would like to know more about this Bible hope they can contact me at
