Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Losing a loved one in death is one of the worst experiences anyone will have to deal with living in this world. The Bible gives us comforting hope for our loved ones who have passed away. " 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."-Revelation 21:4. Acts 24:15 says: And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Deborah Frazier
