My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss. May your hearts find comfort in knowing that we are loved. Jehovah God recommends his own love to us, while we were yet sinners, his son Jesus Christ died for all of us -Romans 5:8. One day soon here on earth, we will be reunited with our loved ones that is sleeping right now -Psalms 37:29. Jesus Christ says, “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…John 5:28, 29. This is a promise from Jesus Christ our savior.
