Heartfelt Tribute: ✈️🕊️
We bow our heads in solemn remembrance of all the precious lives lost in the tragic Air India crash.
May their souls find eternal peace, and may their families and loved ones find strength and comfort in this hour of grief.
This tragedy reminds us how fragile life is and how deeply interconnected we are. We pray for healing, for courage, and for the light of hope to shine through even in this dark hour.
May God be their rest and refuge. - JJC, Flintshire
