Maryellen, I am so sad for you and your family. Love and prayers
I am very sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May family and friends bring you comfort along with God’s Word. John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15 assure us that those who have died have the wonderful prospect of living again, at a time when God will have removed all sickness, pain, and sorrow from the earth forever. (Rev.21:4) May these scriptures help give you peace and hope.
So. Sorry. For. Your. Lost. Meryellen
