Thinking of you and your family during this dark time. It’s never easy losing someone. I hope this heartfelt message in the scriptures can bring a smile to your face. Isaiah 25:8 ” He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” Although death is the most heartbreaking experience we will ever face we are not left without hope. God promises to bring our loved ones back to life through a resurrection as he promised. How we long for that truly special day to embrace them again!
So sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family.
