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:
