    I’m sorry for your loss. Know that God (Psalm 83:18) cares and is close to the broken-hearted and those crushed in spirit he saves, Psalm 34:18, 1 Peter 5:7

    Dear Family, During these times it is especially important to draw close to God in prayer, for the Bible promises that “he himself will sustain you.”-Psalm 55:22. When we lose our love ones, we miss the very much. For that reason, we can be encouraged by reflecting on the promises that God has given thru his word the Bible, concerning the hope of seeing our love ones again. I hope you find comfort in reading these Scriptures. John 11:11-44; John 5:21,28,29; and Revelation 21:4. My prayer are with your family.
