I am so sorry for your loss. Death is truly an enemy, as the bible calls it 1Cor 15:26. Many wonder why we die Rom 5:12, what the condition of the dead is Ecc 9:5, what hope is there John 5:28. Soon God promises that he will wipe away all tears, sorrow and death. Rev 21:3,4. May these words from our creator and the love and support from your family and friends be of comfort to you at this difficult time.
