To the family I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one may you find comfort in the scriptures. "Your loved one who is asleep in the dust of the earth will awaken. (Daniel 12:2) They will arise and shout joyfully. (Isaiah 26:19) The Bible repeatedly speaks about the elimination of death and God's promise of everlasting life. The resurrections performed by Jesus offered clear proof that God gave Jesus power over death. In fact, the Bible says that Jesus now possesses the keys of death (Rev. 1:18) God's will is to resurrect the dead. (Acts 24:15) When that day arrives, death will truly be brought to nothing. Never again will it bring so much pain to mankind (1Cor. 15:26)
