I am sorry to learn about the passing of your love one. I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends. When the enemy death strikes our grief can be great. It may even seem unfair that sickness, which can cause death, has the power to take away someone that we love. The Bible is very comforting in this regard. At Isaiah 33: 24, our Heavenly Father has promised, in the near future that no resident will say, ‘I am sick’. Yes, sickness, death, outcry, sorrow and pain will be things of the past. He has also promise to resurrect our love ones into a beautiful Paradise earth. You and I have the prospects of seeing them again. What a grand reunion that we be! For us to believe in these promises, we have to be certain that the one making the promises is both willing and able to fulfill them. The Bible scriptures do just that. Hold on to your wonderful memories of your beloved one, for he will not be forgotten by you or Almighty God Jehovah. Once again, you have my sincere condolences. ?Rev. 21: 3, 4, John 5: 28 & 29, Psalms 37: 29, Titus 1:2.
