Dear Brown Family, I am so sorry to have read of your loss please accept my sincere condolences. Something that I have found to be of great comfort is what the Bible says at John 5:28,29 And Revelation 21:4. In these verss we see that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our loved ones and that he is going to do away with all causes we have for suffering so that we can live happily. It is my sincere hope that these thoughts comfort your family at this time. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Rebekah.
