I offer my deepest condolences for your loss.These times prove to be the hardest for us, when our loved ones fall asleep in death. God's word the Bible gives us encouraging information regarding death. At Acts 24:15, John 5:28,29, 1Corinthians 15:26, and Revelation 21:4. May just a few of these Bible truths bring you comfort at this time.
