Dear Hodges Family I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to share a scripture with you. It is found at Revelation 21:3,4. Here in this scripture the Bible speaks of a time when all the terrible things we see on earth, including death, will be done away with. Yes God, whose name is Jehovah has promised to do was with the enemy, death. Many people look forward to this time. I hope this message is comforting and encouraging during this difficult time
