"Very sorry to read of the passing of your dear loved one David. It seems that life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. I am writing to share a few words of comfort and encouragement from the source of truth the bible. God does hold out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCIES FAITH IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE."The nine accounts in the bible of ones who were resurrected are a guarantee that the resurrection of others is possible. God can bring back the billions of dead he holds within his perfect memory. (John 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God! Your gift of memories of David will bring you great joy. When a loved one becomes a memory tthat memory turns into a treasure. To help with the grieving process I found three ways. Talking and writing about my feelings. Also reading the information in the bible about the resurrection. May you and yours lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time. (PSALMS 83-18)AgapeM.L.Hurt"
