  1. I know the pain that death can bring to the heart. it sometimes seems almost more then we can bear. We do well to go to the Bible to help with our grief. Jehovah said he is near to those who are broken hearted, & those who are crushed in spirit.(Ps.3418) Jesus said I am the vine & my Father is the culvator.(John151) What a great gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones again.
