Dear Jones 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. Here the Bible speaks of a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.” This means that one day God is going to bring our loved ones back to life. Yes, there will come a time when we will be able to see our loved ones again. Many people look forward to this time and find it comforting knowing they will be able to see their loved ones again. I hope this message finds you well, and brings the family comfort during this difficult time.
