Please accept my deepest sympathy. Jesus called Death, SLEEP. Why? Because, The Bible promises the ressurrection for our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. 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. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
