My sincere sympathies to the Boring family. I’m so sorry for your loss. The difficult time of losing someone we love lead to many questions in our minds, and leave a hole in our hearts. May God’s Word bring you hope and strength to endure. John 5:28,29 speaks of a resurrection hope for the future. What that can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones.
