To family and friends I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one brings much pain. For those asleep in death the Bible promises a hope of a resurrection.(Acts 24:15)Jesus did this while on earth and will do again in the future. Isaiah 45:18 says God made the earth to be inhabited. Psalms 37:9-11,29 shows for how long. This is a bible based hope because God cares for us. See www.jw.org
