My family and I wish to offer our sympathy for your loss. We have suffered with loss of close family, and empathize with you. We would like to share some encouraging words found in God's word that has brought me comfort: Romans 15:4 & Acts 24:15 " for all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the scriptures we might have hope". "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." May you have comfort and peace.
