The pain of death is the hardest, trial that we have to go throu, in our walk of life. Our grief is so great that at times we thing we can’t stand the pain. Remember that our Savor Jesus Christ & his Father Jehovah, stands beside us in our time of grief. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life.(John1125) Jesus also said I am the vine & my Father is the culvator.(John151) What a wonderful gift, we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones again.
