"Having recently learned of the loss of your loved one , I extend my deepest sympathy to you. During this difficult time I wanted to share the hope found in the Bible, the hope of the resurrection. Jesus stated at John 5:28,29 "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out." And at Revelation 21:3,4 it states that there will be a time when "death will be no more." Sorry for your loss. charliesibley@aol.com"
