My deepest sympathy to each of you for your loss. Our Heavenly Father gives us sound reasons for hope in the resurrection. We have his word that the dead will rise, stand up again to life. His purpose regarding all who are asleep in death is sure to be fulfilled. Isaiah 55:11 Luke 18:27 Psalms 37:29
