Dear Jarrett family you have my deepest condolences during this time of bereavement. The loss of a loved one can be hard to deal with but you can have a measure of comfort and it comes from Gods word the bible. 2Corinthians 1:3,4 says that “God comforts us in all our trials.” Isn’t that wonderful to know and Acts 24:15 says “There is going to be a resurrection” so you can see your loved one again. I hope this was encouraging to the family.
