I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to the family. Take comfort in the words in 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 that says, in part, "the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort " will indeed help you to cope with your grievous loss. Through the death of His own son, He has already taken steps to permanently remove all pain and suffering including death. Use this time of grief to investigate the wonderful hope that the Bible offers of being reunited with our loved ones again right here on a cleansed earth in peace and perfection.
