Dear Arnold family, you have my deepest sympathy. The loss of a loved one brings great pain and sorrow but you can gain comfort from Gods word the Bible. At Acts 24:15 it says “There is going to be resurrection” so you can see your dear loved one again. I hope this was a source of comfort to the family.
