My name is LaTanya, and I recently read about your loss. I too have lost loved ones in death, and know the pain that comes with such a loss. I wanted to take a moment to send you some words of comfort.I am a bible student, and have learned much about the subject of death. The bible teaches that death is an enemy, not something that God uses to bring individuals to himself in heaven. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 it says:

I am sorry to read about the recent passing of your love one. I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends. May the words of Christ Jesus comfort you now and in the days to come. 'I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercise faith in me, even though he dies, shall live again. As promised by Christ Jesus, our dearly beloved one will be resurrected. All of God's promises we can trust, for it is impossible for God to lie.-John 11:25, John 5: 28 & 29, Psalms 37:29.
