I wanted to reach out to family and friends during this sad time to offer my condolences. While nothing will completely take away your grief, meditating on God’s promises found in the Bible, can help you to find real hope and the strength to keep going.  I have found the scripture at Revelation 21:4 to be especially comforting where it promises that soon God “will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more…" May God comfort you and give you peace in the days ahead. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4
