To The Murray Family: I am truly sorry for the lost of your love one. In the future no one will lose their love one in death. Notice God's wonderful promise found in the Bible at Revelation chapter 21, verse 4. It reads: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." May God comfort you during these difficult times.
