Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I know the pain that death can bring to the heart. It is never easy to give up our loved ones. We can however take a great deel of comfort from the Bible. Jesus gave way to tears over the death of his friend Lazarous. (John 1135) Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. (John 1125) What a great gift we have been givin thou the ramson sacrifice of Jehovah’s beloved son Jesus Christ. (John 316) We should be so thankful, for the gift we have been givin, the hope of seening our loved ones again.
