I wanted to offer my
I wanted to offer my heartfelt condolences. I know the pain of death is heart breaking, but God's word offers us a wonderful hope.John 5:28, 29 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out!"
Revelations 21:3,4 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: 'Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.'"
I hope these scriptures have brought you a measure of comfort. You will be in my prayers.
