My deepest sympathy for the family. May the promises in the Holy Scriptures bring comfort to you. The Bible promises one day soon, God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore -Revelation chapter 21 verses 3,4. We yearn for the day to see our dear loved ones again. Jesus promises, the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out – John chapter 5 verses 28, 29.
