I am sorry for your loss.. I don’t know your family personally but I want to express my sincere condolences.. The bible provides a solid hope for the future that die in Gods memory.. John 5:28,29 tells us that the dead will hear the voice of Jesus & come out they will return to a world where death, sickness, sorrow & pain will be no more.. These promises we can trust because the God of comfort made these promises & he cannot lie. I hope you & your family find these scriptures comforting
