Dear Saran Family, 

So sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Evan but I came across the obituary. Death is something that deeply affects us all. It takes away those we love most. But the Bible gives us a comforting picture in John 11:11, where Jesus compares death to a peaceful sleep. Just as we naturally wake up from sleep, Jehovah promises to wake our loved ones from death. In Acts 24:15, we’re reminded of the beautiful hope that God has given us the hope of the resurrection. May this hope bring you comfort and strength as you look forward to the day you’ll see Evan again.

“Just Breathe”  

— Eddie Vader / Pearl Jam

Yes, I understand

That every life must end

As we sit alone

I know someday we must go

Oh, I'm a lucky man

To count on both hands

The ones I love

Some folks just have one

Yeah, others they got none

Stay with me

Let's just breathe

Practiced all my sins

Never gonna let me win

Under everything

Just another human being

Yeah, I don't want to hurt

There's so much in this world

To make me bleed

Stay with me

You're all I see

Did I say that I need you?

Did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see

No one knows this more than me

As I come clean

I wonder every day

As I look upon your face

Everything you gave

And nothing you would take

Nothing you would take

Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?

Oh, did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool you see

No one knows this more than me

As I come clean

Nothing you would take

Everything you gave

Hold me 'til I die

Meet you on the other side
