To the family and friends.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a loved one is so very hard and sometimes hard to overcome even when you are expecting it, but I wanted to try to encourge you with some bible scriptures that helped me in the past.
Sometimes we just want to an answer as to why we die and where are our loved ones when they die? I found in Genesis 1:28 and then in romans 5:12 some good answers. We were made to live forever, perfect on earth,but we inherited death with sin because of adams disobedience. I also found Ecclesiastes 9:11 where we learn that we live in unforseen times where we know not what might happen to us in the moment.
Now as for to where is your loved one now, Jesus said himself in John 5:25-30 that she is awaiting for him to call her name so she can come back resurrected and ready to enjoy the good things that we read in Rev.21:1-4 and Isaiah 65:20-25. Such Wonderful hopes and such wonderful things we all will enjoy with our resureccted loved ones when Jesus calls out to them like he did Lazarous then.
I hope this helps in some way as it has helped my family and myself and if you have any quesitons do not hesitate in Emailng me.
With love Jackie.

Grammer cared for my two daughters from the ages of 6 weeks until time to enter Kindergarten. Both Grammer and Papper were wonderful caretakers and role models for our children and taught them to respect and help others. I loved it when she taught them to tie their shoes, and I didn't have to. :) Thery were special people who we loved very much, and have tried to stay in contact with Grammer all these 36 years or so. They were such a deep part of our lives and she will be missed so much. Please know that we care and share in your loss. Love,
