My condolences to the Hardy family. It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death, regardless of how long they have lived. Our loving Heavenly Father did not purpose his human family to grow old and die but purposed us to live and enjoy life. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever__1 Corinthians 15:26 “the last enemy, Death, is to be brought to nothing”; Isaiah 25:8. He promised to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death__ Isaiah 26:19 “Your dead will rise ...Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! ...the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." Our old love ones will become young again__ Job 33:24 ,25 “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor” and then God will “satisfy the desire of every living thing” (Psalms 145:16). What a delight it will be to see them again! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
