I would like to express my condolences at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this, a comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4, where it states " and He will wipe out every tear from their eyes , and death will be no more, neither mourning not outcry be anymore the former things have passed away. " This scripture gives us hope for the future! You can also find comfort in knowing that death does not end all (Acts 24:15) May Jehovah God bring you and your family comfort during this difficult time...
Shelia I'm so sorry to hear about this. Mom emailed me. I'm here for you if I can help in any way.
