Jerry and Elbert I’m so sorry to learn of your father death. Death is always hard, but it can comfort us to remember God words at John 5 28-29 Where it tell us that the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. So according to the bible we will see our love ones again. Hope these words from Jehovah will comfort you in some way. Curtis Barnes (Abbott)
