To Audrey and family: My heart goes out to you. And Audrey - as I've told you several times, "I commend you". You were so dedicated until the end, and I appreciate you for that. You know I'm truly going to miss "my buddy". Norris was like the brother I never had and there's no one who can replace him. I'm so sad he's gone..but I'm happy because he's no longer suffering..no more pain. Heaven has opened it's door for another angel. Love Always - Sharon

When death separates family members, such a great loss can result in deep sorrow. So it is natural to experience sadness when someone you love dies. Christians know there will be a resurrection. Complete reliance on th eGod of All comfort will help us to endure bereavement. If a man die, shall he live again asked the man Job long ago. Well, the bible promises: your dead ones will live...they will rise up, the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it. (Isaiah 26:19;Psalm 37:29) Yes, Almighty God has not only the power but also the desire to ressurrect persons. Jesus said: "Do not marvel at this,because the hour is coming those in the resurrections in the bible. True, these miracles of Jesus were of only temporary benefit, since those that he resurrected died again. However, he gave proof 1, 900 hundred years ago that with God's power, the dead really can live again!
