To the family and to friends, please accept my condolences for your loss, and also a word of encouragement from the Bible. God has promised that the dead will be resurrected to life in a righteous new world. The promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. Psalms 37:29 says: " The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."  This promise brings me comfort when I lose a loved one in death and I hope it brings you comfort too.
