However,please keep in mind God's promise found in the Bible at John chapter 5, verses 28&29. It reads: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life." In the days ahead, may God take care of you and comfort you during these difficult times.
