Condolences

Your family have my condolences, Losing a loved one in death is never easy. But we look forward to the time when we can see them again. In God's Word the Bible, we read where it tells us about the time where there is going to be a wonderful promise. Where God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, nor outcry nor pain be anymore.Revelation 21:3, 4.
