Please accept my condolences. Nothing compares to the death of a love one. Even Jesus gave way to tears at the death of his friend Larazus. He said that he was "sleeping". As final as death may appear to be, it's only a pause. Just as Jesus resurrected Lazarus, he has promised a more grand resurrection in the future. At John 5:28,29 he aid, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..." Rejoice in this beautiful hope as you reflect on your most precious memories.
