Dear Jones family, you have my deepest sympathy. The loss of a loved one brings great sorrow and pain, that can be hard to deal with, but you are not alone. At 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 it says “The God of all comfort, comforts us in all our trials”, so you can gain comfort from God and his word the bible. Also Acts24:15 says “There is going to be a resurrection ” so you can see your loved one again. And this is a promise from our loving God. I hope this was a source of encouragement to the family.
