Dear Moehring Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss and would like to share a scripture with you. The scripture is found at Revelation 21:3,4 where the Bible speaks of a time when all the terrible things we see on earth now will be done away with. Yes, God has made a promise to rid the earth of all the pain and suffering we endure today, even death. This is a promise many people find comforting. I hope you find comfort in it as well during this difficult time.
