To the family and friends, I offer my deepest sympathy, and also a word of encouragement from the Bible. God has promised that the dead who are in his memory will be resurrected to life in a righteous new world. The promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. The Bible says: " The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." Psalms 37:29. May you find comfort from this scripture.

It saddens my heart to hear of Richard's passing. I grieve with the family, but I know that he is happy in his new home and those who love the Lord Jesus appearing will see Richard again. I will be praying for his family. May God wrap His loving arms around you, comfort you and give you peace.
