Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. Death is an enemy and while we may feel helpless over death, the bible gives us encouragement for it says that ‚àö¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚âà?¨Death as the last enemy will be brought to nothing.‚àö¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ¬¨?? [1 Corinthians 15:26] So be assured, death is not so powerful over God and his son, Jesus Christ. Proof of this fact is shown at Acts 24:15, for it says ‚àö¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ‚âà?¨and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.‚àö¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ¬¨?? May you be comforted by these promises along with your cherished memories.
