    May it comfort you to know that others are thinking of you with warmth and sympathy. As time goes by and you reflect on the shared memories, may they put a smile on your face and a measure of joy to your heart. We also can look to our heavenly Father for comfort. In fact, as you are aware He promises that there is life after death. Through Jesus Christ we can live forever (John 3:16). Death was not in God's purpose for his earthly children. It hurts Him when one of us dies and the pain it causes the bereaved. For that reason, Hebrews 2:14 says that death will be brought to nothing along with the one who causes death. Our heartfelt prayers will then be answered for God's will to be done on earth as in heaven. Revelation 21: 3-4 describes what conditions will be like then, yes, even death will be no more. Until that time comes when we will see our resurrected loved ones again, may God strengthen you and make you firm as we continue to pray for his will to be done. Wishing you God's peace.
