To The Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. May you let God’s Word comfort you when it reads, If a man dies can he live again? …You will call, and I myself shall answer you. You will long for the work of your hands. {Job 14:14, 15}. God will have a longing to resurrect our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death.
