June 29, 2019 at 8:00 amDear family you have my heartfelt condolences. May God’s promise at John 5:28,29 of a future resurrection bring you comfort. Until that time comes, he assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he “is close to the brokenhearted” and “saves those who are crushed in spirit.” So God understands your pain and grief and is eager to help you by giving you the strength you need to endure during this most difficult time.
