To the family;
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in this message: God has lovingly promised us a time when “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 21:3,4)
