Dear Sara & family,

I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one in death is such a difficult thing to cope with. My heart goes out to the family and friends of John during this time. Cherish the good memories. Please find comfort in knowing that God views death as an ‘enemy’ and will act to end it forever (1st Cor 15:26). God’s Word also promises a time in the future where we can all have a hope of seeing our dead loved ones again (John 5:28,29). A time when ‘no resident will say: I am sick’? (Isaiah 33:24). A beautiful hope. Take care.
My name is Carlein. I am a Bible teacher. I am sorry for your loss. A scripture that has given me much comfort is Revelation 21.4 which promises that one day death shall be no more. I hope this truth brings you comfort also.
My deepest sympathy. Love you – Susan Wood
Sara, I was saddened to read of your son, John’s death. I hope that time will help to heal your broken heart. I am keeping you and your daughters in my special prayers and thoughts.
So sorry for your loss. Many great memories in North Carolina when we were kids. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
