  2. I know the pain that death can bring to the heart. It is never easy to give up our loved ones. The Bible does give us comfort in our hour of need. Jehovah said I will put a end to all sickness, & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) God shows his love for all of us throu the ramson sacrifice of his beloved son Jesus Christ. (John 163) Isn’t it much comfort to know that we will one day see our loved ones again.
