Dear Barnhill Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to share a scripture with you. The scripture is found at Acts 24:15, in this scripture the Bible speaks of a “resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Yes, there will be a time when we will be able to see our loved ones again. I hope this message is comforting and encouraging during this difficult time.
