Dear Shackelford Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to share an encouraging scripture with you. The scripture is found at Revelation 21:3,4. Here the Bible speaks of time when God will rid the earth of anything that causes us pain and suffering. Yes, God has promised to do away with all the terrible things that we endure today, including death. Many people find this promise from God comforting, and I hope you find it comforting as well during this difficult time.
