Dear Crosswhite-Valentine Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to share a scripture with you. The scripture is found at Revelation 21:3,4. Here the Bible speaks of a promise God has made to us. This is the promise to rid the earth of any and everything that causes us pain or suffering, including death. This is a time that many people look forward to, and find comfort in this promise from God. I hope you find comfort in the promise from God as well during this difficult time.
