Sandra and Koury , I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your father and grandfather. I know you will miss him terribly. I will be thinking of you and praying that the wonderful memories you have will give you comfort in the difficult days ahead.

The passing of your loved one James is one of the most devastating experiences your family can face, and at times, the loss may seem unbearable. However, finding ways to express my deepest sympathies to your family is most difficult. However, your faith in the Bible based resurrection hope for James, Jesus spoke about at John 11:25. These words of Jesus are comforting to your family knowing that James have a hope in a resurrection. Furthermore, the help that God supplies does make a difference, because God can help you to cope with the death of someone you love. The Bible makes this comforting promise: ?¢‚Ǩ?ìJehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves (Psalms 34:18). Although divine help does not eliminate the pain, but it can make it easier to bear. That does not mean that you will no longer cry or will forget your loved one. So, draw close to Jehovah, the God of all comfort during this time of sorrow and sadness.
