I am very sorry to hear of James passing. May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days, my most heartfelt condolences.
I also want to share a beautiful scripture that gives us much hope and personal comfort. Acts 24:15 “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Imagine that day when all our loved ones are brought back to life through a resurrection and we can embrace them again. How we long for that truly special day so close at hand.
