Dear Hates Family I am deeply sorry for your loss and would like to share a scripture with you. It is found at Acts 24:15. In this scripture the Bible speaks of a promise God, whose name is Jehovah, has made to bring our loved ones back to life. Many people find it comforting to know they can see their loved ones again. I hope you find comfort in this message as well.
So sorry for your loss! David, my cousin, was a fine man! Thoughts and prayers are with the family!!
