We are so sorry for your loss. The death of a love one can be extremely difficult to cope with. Many have found comfort in the many promises found in Gods word the bible. Acts24:15 has special meaning for many. There it speaks about the Resurrection. By means of it our loving creator Jehovah God (ps.83:18, John 3:16) will bring back our dear ones who are sleeping in death as promised. Please find comfort in this wonderful promise during this difficult time...Mary Ann
