Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. May you find comfort and hope in the Bible promise of a resurrection found in 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" and at John 5:28 "Do not be amazed this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" How thankful we can be for the sure hope of seeing our dear loved ones again.
