Dear Hester family, you have my deepest sympathy in this time of bereavement. The loss of a loved one can bring great pain and sorrow.
But you can gain comfort from Gods word the bible. Acts24:15 says “There is going to be a resurrection” that is a promise from our loving God. I hope this gives you a measure of comfort.
