Michelle EllisPlease accept my sincere condolences. At such a difficult time, may God truly "comfort your hearts." 2 Thessalonians 2:17 May his sure promise of a resurrection comfort you. When our loved ones are brought back to life, never again will they have to experience sickness, pain or even death. ( John 5:28,29, Revelation 21:4) A wonderful future awaits them.
