Very sorry to read of the passing of your dear loved one Fred. Life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. I am writing to share a few words of comfort and encouragement from the source of truth the bible. God holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCIES FAITH IN ME,EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE.” The nine accounts in the bible of ones who were resurrected are a guarantee that the resurrection of others is possible. God can bring back the billions of dead he holds within his perfect memory. (JOHN 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God! May you and yours lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad day. (PSALMS 83-18) Agape M.L.Hurt
