You have my sincere condolences. “May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7) May the hope of a resurrection right here on a restored earth bring you comfort. (Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29)

I am very sorry for your loss. May you take comfort in knowing that John is only asleep in death and that soon Jesus will awaken him. (John 11:11-14) In God’s new Kingdom for which we pray, we will never have to mourn the loss of our loved ones again. (Matt. 6:10; Psalm 37:11, 29; Rev. 21:4) I hope this brings you peace.

Dear Walker Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is a very hard and traumatic thing to go through. At times you may even feel like there is no hope. But God has made a promise to us for the future, one that can hopefully bring comfort to your family. The scripture that this promise is set out for us is at Isaiah 26:19. The scripture tells us that our dead will live again. I hope you can find comfort from this scripture during this hard time.

Mrs. Timmons and Family,
It is in times like these that we really experience the hand of God as He comforts us and gives us that peace that passes all understanding. He knows the void that is left by the death of your father and He is a wonderful Father. Let Him comfort you as only He can do.104

My sincere sympathy goes out to the Melvin family on your precious loss. I understand the pain of losing loved ones to the sting of death. Three years ago our daughter died and April 21, 2017 my beloved husband of 50 years fell asleep in death.

I would like to share what has helped me to cope. It wasn't just the outpouring of love from the many Congregations across the United States but the reality of what was contained in the Scriptures. Reading about how the Most High God's son Jesus viewed death was indeed comforting: Psalms 83:18 & John 11:11-14. Psalms gives the name of the Most High & the book of John gives Jesus view of death yes, as one Sleeping. Not that one is here or there but is sleeping. And the Scriptures even say where: Daniel 12:2 but I look to the future with complete hope of seeing my loved ones again free from sickness, pain & sorrow: Isaiah 33:24, Revelation 21:3,4. The Scriptures even say where they will be resurrected to & how long we will be together: John 5:28, 29 & Psalms 37:11 & Psalms 37:29.

Well, I hope that just these few Scriptures were of some comfort to you as they were to me.
Sent in deep sympathy & love,
Sissy
