Dear Rebecca and Family, My deepest condolences on the loss of Robert. He was a hard worker and taught his family to be so as well...hard work is a gift from God. Ecclesiastic 3:13 says:  "also that everyone should eat and drink and find enjoyment for all his hard work. It is the gift of God." Another gift of Almighty God is his promise to "swallow up death forever and ..wipe the tears away from all faces". Never again will we shed tears because someone dear to us has died. (Isaiah 25:8) God will also resurrect our loved ones who have been separated from us in death. (Acts 24:15) Almighty God is not a liar (Titus 1:2)
