Condolences

Please accept my sincere condolences to your family on your loss.Although I did not know Miss Lorraine personally, how she must have touched many lives during her 97 years. What a blessing to have had such a lenthy life! No doubt she was a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who will be sorely missed by many. It is painful losing such dear ones to death for we want to live and enjoy life with those we love. And if we only had the power to do so, we would bring our loved ones back to us. Please know that you can find true hope and comfort in the scriptures, for it reassures us that we can see our dead loved ones again. The Bible teaches that most people who have died will be resurrected. Jesus Christ himself promised that "those in the memorial tombs will...come out." (John 5:28, 29) In harmony with God's original purpose, those resurrected humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43) This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. The Bible reassures us that "the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." (Psalm 37:29) Other scriptures that bear witness to this are Job 14:14, 15; Luke 7:11-17; and Acts 24:15. Please take comfort in this hope and the future joy it holds out to us who, for now, grieve the loss of these we hold dear. Most sincerely, Charvian Edens
